Patent number: 9429265Abstract: A lining material obtained by rolling a lining material sheet into a tubular form is installed in a conduit with both ends of the lining material sheet in its circumferential direction circumferentially overlapping each other. In this process, the lining material is installed so that, in a bending portion of a conduit, an overlapping portion where the both ends of the lining material sheet overlap each other faces toward an outer curvature side of the bending portion. Then, the diameter of the lining material installed in the conduit is expanded with the both ends of the lining material sheet circumferentially slid on each other. This facilitates inflation of a portion of the lining material which portion faces toward the outer curvature side in the bending portion, thereby decreasing a gap between the lining material and an inner surface of the bending portion.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2012Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: ASHIMORI INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventors: Shinji Onishi, Hiroshi Tsuzuki, Yasuhiro Ueda
