  • Elastomer formed beaded joint
    Patent number: 10828688
    Abstract: A method for forming a conduit with a radial flange for forming part of a beaded coupling by: positioning a conduit blank in a forming die, wherein the forming die defines a radially extending recess; inserting a forming post in the conduit blank to define an annular space therebetween; inserting a flexible material in the annular space between the post and the conduit; placing a sleeve in a bearing relationship with the flexible material; compressing the flexible material between the post and the sleeve to force the flexible material against the conduit to expand the conduit outward into engagement with the radially extending recess in the forming die to form an annular flange; and releasing compression on the flexible material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 22, 2018
    Date of Patent: November 10, 2020
    Assignee: Nelson Global Products, Inc.
