Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4369756
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A polymeric hose pre-form is inserted into a pre-shaped tube and formed into a desired shape. A vacuum endcap is positioned on one end of the tube, and a vacuum is applied at the vacuum endcap to draw the hose pre-form through the tube. After inserting of the hose pre-form into the tube, the hose contacts the inner surface of the tube. A loading endcap is positioned on the other end of the tube. The hose is then cured to maintain the hose in the shape defined by the tube. During curing, the pair of endcaps are flush against the ends of the hose, eliminating the need for a finishing operation. The cured hose is then removed from the tube. The ends of the hose can also be flared.
