Pipe-making apparatus and pipe-making method for spiral pipe

A spiral pipe (9) is formed by joining edges of adjacent turns of a strip member (90) while helically winding the strip member using a pipe-making apparatus. A propulsive reaction force for moving in a winding direction of the strip member is imparted to a following strip portion (92) or a preceding spiral pipe portion (91) of the strip member by a propulsive reaction force imparting portion of the pipe-making apparatus. The following strip portion follows a preceding spiral pipe portion that has already been made into a pipe. A resisting force in a direction opposite to the propulsive reaction force is imparted to the strip member along the winding direction by a friction between a resisting force imparting portion and the strip member generated while the strip member is moved forward. In this arrangement, a diameter limiting frame can be omitted, and thereby, the pipe-making apparatus can be downsized.

Dry liners for pipe repair and methods for manufacturing dry liners

A method of manufacturing a dry liner for reinforcing a pipe includes spirally winding a glass fiber-reinforced, continuous material around a mandrel such that a subsequent layer of the glass fiber-reinforced, continuous material at least partially overlaps a preceding layer of the material to form an overlapping region and affixing the subsequent layer of material to the preceding layer of material in the overlapping region prior to impregnating the dry liner with a resin to form a CIPP liner.

Apparatus for forming curls

A curl-forming apparatus (1) includes: a main body (20) configured to deform a profile strip (100); and a support body (3) configured to support the main body (20) in a holding unit (4) for the profile strip (100). The profile strip (100) is helically wound on an inside of the holding unit (4). The main body (20) is disposed in a hollow part of the holding unit (4) and is configured to draw and deform the profile strip (100) inside the holding unit (4). The support body (3) is rotatable relative to the holding unit (4), and is configured to rotate about an axis of the holding unit (4) in synchronization with the main body (20) that draws the profile strip (100).

A pipe lining apparatus having a pressure sensitive adhesive backed reinforcement filament that is helically wound onto the inner surface of a pipe or pipe lining by an inverted filament winding apparatus, the apparatus having multiple spools and applicator arms to retain and apply the filament. The applicator arms may be aligned circumferentially or axially.

STRIP MEMBER FOR SPIRAL PIPE AND REHABILITATION METHOD OF EXISTING PIPE

A strip member that can be made into a spiral pipe with an enlarged perimeter by being spirally wound. A first fitting portion (93) is disposed in one end portion of a cross-section orthogonal to an extending direction of a strip member (90) and a second fitting portion (94) is disposed in the other end portion of the cross-section. A spiral pipe (9) is made by spirally winding the strip member (90) and fitting the second fitting portion (94) with the first fitting portion (93) preceding by one turn. The strip member (90) has a cross-sectional configuration in which a reference width direction W.sub.9 connecting the first fitting portion (93) and the second fitting portion (94) on the cross-section is inclinable to an outer surface side toward the first fitting portion side when the strip member is wound.
