Patent number: 7318455Abstract: The present invention provides a pipe body of which the edge sections contact with each other stably and which can be formed only by means of only a press processing without performing a welding in mass-producing, wherein separation-prevented engagement due to deformation of at least one of the engagement sections absorbs the spring back in the press processing. Also, the present invention provides a pipe body, a metal plate for the pipe body and a forming method of the pipe body using the sheet metal for the pipe body.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2006Date of Patent: January 15, 2008Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Takafumi Kondou, Keiji Ishino

Patent number: 6983770Abstract: A method of manufacturing pipe body by which pipe body with precise quality and closely contacted seam can be made stably by pressing process, and pipe body manufactured by the method are provided. To manufacture a pipe body 1 made of metal with circular or polygonal cross section comprising a seam 5e and a wall 2 or plurality of walls 2, 3 and 4, a pipe-like intermediate product 14 is made by bending a metal plate 6 of which edges to be seam 5e have not yet contacted together. In case for prism pipe, the intermediate product comprises walls 5a, 5b to be contacted and be a wall including seam, and other walls, and both angles of both ends of one specified wall 15 of the intermediate product are larger than those of completed pipe.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2003Date of Patent: January 10, 2006Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Takafumi Kondou, Keiji Ishino
