Latest Patents
Laurent Paolini holds a patent for a process titled "Process for joining tubular members of great length." This invention involves a method and apparatus for assembling tubular components made of metal or thermoplastic material through frictional welding. The process utilizes a short tubular connecting cuff placed between the end surfaces of the two tubular members. These members are held in alignment with the cuff, which is rotated about an axis perpendicular to the surfaces to be welded. The position of the cuff is regulated along the axis until uniform softening by friction is achieved on the contacting surfaces. Once this is accomplished, the rotation of the cuff is halted while maintaining pressure on the tubes until the weld consolidates upon cooling. The apparatus is notable for exerting independent thrusts between the cuffs and tubes, ensuring effective pressure contact between the ends of the cuffs and the corresponding ends of the tubes.
