PROCESS FOR FABRICATING A HYDRAULIC CONNECTION MEMBER, AND HYDRAULIC CONNECTION MEMBER SO PRODUCED

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the production of a hydraulic connection member in the form a tube (1) having a raised annular portion (3) on the outer surface thereof. The invention is characterised in that the annular portion (3) is produced by means of the thermoforming of a polymer tube (1). The invention also relates to a device for implementing said method, including a thermoforming mould comprising a negative matrix (13) of the annular portion (3) to be produced, a downwardly flared male member (5) for guiding the tube (1) as it is being inserted into the mould and means for heating the end of the tube (1) and the resulting connection member.
