  • Patent number: 4187604
    Abstract: A tool and method for installing a flexible tube between two or more glass encapsulated reed switches of a multi-capsule reed relay switching assembly. The tool is formed from a steel wire in a wedge shaped structure, adapted to compress when the tubing is fitted over it, exerting pressure against the inside wall of the tubing and narrowing the tubing into an egg-shaped configuration. This allows the insertion of the tubing between the reed capsules with a minimum of interference.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4186482
    Abstract: A tool and method for installing a flexible tube between two or more glass encapsulated reed switches of a multi-capsule reed relay switching assembly. The tool includes a rectangular horizontally oriented insertion member with a billhook raised at one end. The rectangular insertion member is arranged to narrow the tubing into a slightly egg-shaped configuration when the tubing is fitted over it. The billhook is adapted to partially penetrate an inside wall of the tubing allowing the tool to essentially drag the tubing into place. During installation the tubing collapses against the insertion member reducing the amount of initial interference between the tubing and the glass reed capsules.
