  • Patent number: 10989349
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for curing resin-impregnated lining tubes using high-energy radiation, comprising at least two radiation sources for generating high-energy radiation, wherein the device has a front end, a rear end, two oppositely situated side ends, a top end, and a bottom end, wherein a length of the device from the front end to the rear end is smaller in a transport state than in an operating state. At least one element of the device is foldably, displaceably, rotatably, and/or movably supported, and at least one first radiation source is situated farther from at least one additional radiation source in the operating state than in the transport state. The device includes a fastening point on which a tensile force can act, in particular in the longitudinal direction of the device in order to transfer the device from the transport state into the operating state.
