Latest Patents
Krause holds a patent for a "Method and apparatus for forming shroud." This invention involves a method and apparatus for assembling a rectangular outer tube, a rectangular inner tube, and thin flat elongated panels. The panels are solidly abutted between the inner wall of the outer tube and the outer wall of the inner tube. The assembly is expanded by applying an internal pressure of at least a thousand psi into contact with a die cavity of rectangular cross-section. To minimize the required expansion of the tubes, it is essential that the inner tube conforms closely to the space between the panels prior to expansion. The inner tube undergoes a controlled collapse, allowing for easier insertion of the panels. After the panels are inserted, the walls of the inner tube are formed outwardly to fit closely within the defined space. Finally, the entire assembly is expanded within a die cavity of rectangular cross-section.
