Process for forming flexible tubular bodies and device for carrying out said process.

摘要

The process according to the present invention for forming flexible tubular bodies (12) obtained by the laying-up of a plurality of metallic shaped members (5), permanently deformed according to helicoids, provides to give the helical configuration to the single shaped members through the following two steps.
<??>Each shaped member (5) is firstly permanently deformed around their own longitudinal axis by torsional stresses. Subsequently, each shaped member (5) is permanently deformed through a bending with respect to a plane parallel to the greater faces of the shaped member (5) itself. The present invention comprises also a device for carrying into effect said process.
