INFLATABLE TUBE FOR COUPLING COMPONENT AND METHOD FOR MAKING AN INFLATABLE TUBE

摘要

An inflatable coupling component tube 12 for a fluid-operated brake or clutch includes an elongated, generally tubular-shaped structure 24 of predetermined length having two ends 26a, 26b and a joint 28 between the two ends 26a, 26b that closes the tube 12 to form a generally toroidal-shaped cavity 30. A coupling component 10 for a fluid-operated brake or clutch that includes an inflatable tube 12, and a method of making an inflatable coupling component tube 12 are also disclosed.
