ABSTRACT:
A Method of Manufacturing a Shrink-On Cap In a method for manufacturing a shrink-on cap (10'), first of all heat-shrink tubing sections (27) having an opening at each of their two ends (14, 17) are prepared. The heat-shrink tubing section (27) is then pressed together at its end (17), producing a welded seam which constitutes a rim (16) and closes off the corresponding opening. The rim (16) lies substantially in a plane of symmetry of the heat-shrink tubing section (27). The rim (16) is then deformed in such a way that its sharp edge (18) and pointed corners are removed from the plane of symmetry. A method for protecting an electrical component by means of a shrink-on cap (10') produced this way is also described.
