ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for making flexible corrugated tubing of relatively large diameter and wall thickness from an extruded sleeve of uncured vulcanizable stock. The sleeve is placed on a cylindrical forming mandrel and radially expanded into an axially extensible and compressible forming member having interior edges that define successive convolutions coaxial with the mandrel and which form creases in the sleeve when it is radially expanded. The mandrel is supported at its opposite ends by two spaced forming head assemblies that surround the ends of the sleeve and which also engage the opposite ends of the forming member. When the sleeve is radially expanded to form bulges between the interior edges, the forming head assemblies are simultaneously moved in an axial direction toward one another by power means to compress the forming member and sleeve and thus, to produce embryonic corrugations in the sleeve. After the forming head assemblies are moved apart to their initial position, the forming member is removed from the mandrel and sleeve and the resulting product is cured in the desired corrugated form.
