  • Patent number: 7587820
    Abstract: Side hole-bearing tubular bodies made of metal and having an inside diameter of up to 2 mm are manufactured by a method which includes punching from a metal sheet a sheet blank in the developed shape of a tubular body and punching in the sheet blank a hole which corresponds to the side hole in the tubular body and/or notches which form the side hole when the sheet blank is pressed into a tubular shape, in such a way that the metal sheet and the sheet blank remain partly joined; pressing the sheet blank into a tubular shape; and cutting apart the metal sheet and the sheet blank where they remain joined. Metal tubular bodies manufactured in this way can have one or more side holes of any shape, position or number thereon, and are highly suitable for use in medical devices such as syringe needles.

  • Patent number: 7082795
    Abstract: A small diameter metal tube having at least two inner diameters is provided. A method for producing this metal tube is also provided. In this method, a plate member having a development shape of the metal tube is blanked from a metal thin plate so that the plate member is left partly tied to the metal thin plate, the plate member is press formed into a tubular body having the at least two inner diameters, and the plate member partly tied to the metal thin plate is cut apart to produce the metal tube having at least two inner diameters.
