Abstract
A technique of installing a tip on a tube for making a probe cover comprising: axially, movably supporting the tube on an axially movable support pin with the pin extending beyond the end of the tube; placing a tip on the end of the pin that extends beyond the tube; applying a force to the tip to engage the tip with the end of the tube; applying a force to the end of the tube engaged with the tip to curl that end of the tube inwardly about the tip; and applying heat to the tip to soften that end of the tube engaged with the tip and cause it to reform about the tip in the inwardly curled form induced by the force applied to the end of the tube.
