TUBE, METHOD FOR PRODUCING TUBE, AND MOLD

摘要

The present invention molds, with simple processes, a tube which has a smaller outer diameter and is hardly bent in a folded manner. The present invention includes (i) a primary molding step of forming a primary molded body by carrying out resin molding while a reinforcing member and a core pin (4) are placed in a cavity of a first mold made up of a lower mold (30) and an upper mold (40) for primary molding and (ii) a secondary molding step of covering the reinforcing member by carrying out resin molding while the primary molded body is placed in a cavity of a second mold that has an inner diameter larger than an inner diameter of the cavity of the first mold.

主权项

1. A method for producing a tube which includes a wall section, a hollow section, and a reinforcing member, the reinforcing member being provided in the wall section and having a ring shape, a wide-ring shape, or a spiral shape, said method comprising the steps of:
(a) forming a primary molded body, in which the reinforcing member is provided along an outer peripheral surface of a tubular resin, by carrying out resin molding while the reinforcing member and a core pin for forming the hollow section are placed in a cavity of a first mold; and (b) covering the reinforcing member by carrying out resin molding while the primary molded body is placed in a cavity of a second mold which has an inner diameter larger than an inner diameter of the first mold.
