  • Patent number: 9321195
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a pipe, which is capable of reducing the amount of thermoplastic material, without complicating an device for producing a pipe. The present invention provides a method for producing a pipe, comprising a thermoplastic material filling process for filling a die with a thermoplastic material, and a thermoplastic material discharging process for pushing out an unsolidified part of the thermoplastic material in the molding die using pressurized fluid, wherein the thermoplastic material is mixed with a foaming agent, the method further comprises a process for foaming the thermoplastic material filling the molding die, and the thermoplastic material discharging process is a process for pushing out a inner part of the thermoplastic material foamed in the molding die, by using the pressurized fluid prior to solidification of the inner part.

  • Patent number: 6932936
    Abstract: To provide manufacturing method for a double tube having a hole formed therein and a mold for implementing such method, which reduce the time required for manufacturing, do not leave shavings in the gap between the outer tube and the inner tube, and offer highly accurate hole positioning. The manufacturing method for a double tube having a hole formed therein pertaining to the present invention uses a mold in which a punch is located in at least one of the split mold halves that form the outer circumferential surface, an indentation is formed by drawing the punch into the mold, and fluid pressure is applied between the outer tube and the inner tube of the double tube located within the mold to form a hole in the circumferential wall of the outer tube via such indentation. Furthermore, the punch is placed in the mold in a watertight fashion.

  • Publication number: 20050121834
    Abstract: There is provided a method for bending a resin tube that enables resin tubes having a variety of bend configurations to be worked simply and rapidly without fabrication of a plurality of bending dies. In the method for bending a resin tube, a resin tube is bent to a desired angle with a bending apparatus, heated by high-frequency dielectric heating while the bent state of the resin tube is maintained by the bending apparatus, cooled, and released from being held by the bending apparatus.
