Abstract
A method for making an airtight, flexible cell for enclosing electrical switching apparatus in the application of a door edge safety strips is disclosed. The illustrated technique describes a method which includes a series of steps which may be applied to raw sheet material used in producing the airtight cell which reduces the number of steps necessary to encase the switching apparatus within the airtight cell, simplifying the folding operations required to produce a seam to enclose the switching apparatus. The invention provides for use of two pieces of material to construct an end of the airtight cell, one piece being substantially rectangular and the second piece is comprised of five sides.
