Title: Helical wire forming tool for hose construction
Inventor: CSIZMAZIA ALAN
IPC: F16L11/08
Filed: 2014-07-11
Abstract: A tool, for forming a wire into a helical coil for a hose, has a guide 201 for the wire which is located relative to a previous turn of the coil. This can ensure the pitch of each turn is consistent with the previous turn. Pitch roller 201 can have a locator with two grooves (402, 403, fig 4) and a wire guide (401, fig 4). Locator grooves (402, 403, fig 4) can engage with two previous turns 313 and 314 of the coil, which act like rails, to precisely locate the wire guide (401, fig 1), to ensure consistent pitch throughout the coil. A wire feed assembly 203 may have a wire pre-tensioning and reorientation mechanism and a handle 206 to help engage and disengage the pitch roller 201 from a rotating mandrel 213. The handle 206 may be biased towards engagement with the mandrel 213. Different pitch rollers 201 may be used, or the distance between the grooves may be altered, to change the pitch of the coil. The coil can form the internal and external metal helical support structure for a flexible composite hose, e.g. for Liquid Natural Gas (LNG), with a precise pitch, to aid radial and bending strength. The coil may be nylon. The tool can be secured to a platform which is driven along rails running parallel to the rotating mandrel (fig 5). The mandrel 213 may be rotated and driven past the wire feed assembly 203, or the tool may be rotated and driven along the mandrel.
