- Removably secured on the shaft 24 in lengthwise spaced relation are disclike members or collars 34 and 35, the collar 35 being disposed adjacent the distal end of the shaft 24.
- the collars 34 and 35 are of a diameter slightly less than the interior diameter of a duct section 10 whereby the duct may be slidably received on the collars or supports 34 and 35.
- the collars are removably secured to the shaft 24 so that pairs of collars of different sizes may be employed to accommodate rigid fibrous ducts of different interior diameters.
- a circular disc or abutment plate 38 is fixedly secured on the shaft 24 adjacent the frame l8 to limit the lengthwise movement of the duct when the same is telescoped onto the supporting collars 34 and 35.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a tubular film, cover or jacket I6 of a size to be loosely drawn over the duct 10 mounted on the collars 34 and 35, the material of the film or jacket being of a character to be heat-shrunk onto the tubular fibrous duct 10 as hereinafter described.
- Means is provided for applying heat to the tubular cover or jacket to shrink the same into intimate engagement with the fibrous duct.
- Mounted on a floor or other suitable support surface and spaced lengthwise of the shaft 24 are transversely disposed parallel tracks or ways 42 and 43.
- Mounted for movement on the tracks is a frame structure or carriage 45 comprising lengthwise members 46, upwardly extending struts 47 and diagonally or angularly arranged struts 48.
- the lower ends of the horizontal frame members 46 are connected by members 49.

- the arrangement includes heating means preferably of a character providing radiant heat for shrinking the tubular cover or jacket 16 onto a duct section.
- heating means preferably of a character providing radiant heat for shrinking the tubular cover or jacket 16 onto a duct section.
- an elongated member 53 is mounted parallel to the shaft 24 and is secured to the upper ends of the struts 47 of the carriage 45.
- the member 53 is of generally U-shaped cross section to provide a reflecting means for heat producing means 54 mounted within the member 53.
- the heat producing means 54 are in the form of infrared, resistance or calrod heaters which develop radiant heat reflected by member 53.
- the heating means 54 When the carriage 45 is moved to the position shown in FIG. 4, the heating means 54 is in effective heat-transferring relation with the cover or jacket 16 on the duct section supported by the collars 34 and 35 on the shaft 24.
- the member 53 and the heating means 54 are of a length to apply radiant heat to the jacket 16 throughout substantially the length of the duct 10.
- the method includes an arrangement for applying heat to the heat-shrinkable jacket 16 adjacent the end regions of the duct in order to shrink the end regions of the jacket into snug engagement with the end regions of the duct.
- a comparatively small heating means or unit 57 preferably a portable unit, that may be held in the hand of the operator for directing heat onto the ends of the jacket 16.
- the heating device 57 comprises a body 58in which is disposed an air blower rotated by an electrically energizable motor 60.
- the heater body 58 is fashioned with a cylindrical tubular extension 62 containing an electrically energizable heater of the resistance type for heating the air which is delivered by the blower onto the end regions of the jacket supported on the duct on the mandrel. Secured to the heater body 58 is a suitable handle 63 which is tubular to accommodate an electric supply conductor 64 adapted to be connected with any suitable conventional current supply outlet.
- the portable heater 57 embodying a resistance heating unit, provides heat for shrinking the end regions of the jacket 16 by convection through the heated moving air and by the radiant energy from the resistance heating unit in the unit. While two portable heating units 57 and 57 are illustrated in H0. 3, one heating unit may be employed to first shrink the jacket on one end of the duct and, subsequently, the same heating unit may be employed to shrink the jacket on the opposite end region of the duct.
- the tubular film, cover or jacket 16 is a heat-shrinkable organic film which is preexpanded or stretched so as to be effectively contracted or shrunk under the influence of heat. This characteristic is imparted to the organic film by the film manufacturer at the time the tubular film is formed.
- a suitable material having this characteristic is polyvinylidene chloride (Saran).
- Other suitable heat-shrinkable organic films may be employed as a heat-shrinkable tubular jacket, such as rubber hydrochloride (Pliofilm), fluorocarbon resin (Teflon), polyester resin (Mylar) or other heat-shrinkable resinous material.
- the heat-shrinkable film is preferably of a thickness of about 0.02 of an inch but the film may be as thin as 0.001 of an inch up to a thickness of 0.030 of an inch depending upon the characteristics desired for the jacket enclosing a duct.
- the method of applying the tubular jacket, casing or sheath 16 to a rigid tubular fibrous duct 10 is as follows:
- the heatshrinkable tubular film is cut to a length a few inches longer than the length of the rigid fibrous duct to be covered.
- the ducts are usually 6 feet in length but may be of lesser or greater length if desired.
- the motor 27 is energized and the variable speed mechanism in the housing 26 adjusted to rotate the shaft or mandrel 24 at a comparatively low speed for the heat-shrinking operation.
- the shaft 24 and the duct mounted on the collars 34 and 35 are rotated at a speed in a range of about 9 to 12 revolutions per minute.
- the shaft 24 and the duct are rotated at a proportionately increased speed and, for a duct of larger diameter, the speed of the shaft 24 is proportionately reduced so as to maintain substantially the same peripheral linear travel of the jacket past the radiant heating means.
- the rate of peripheral linear travel of the rotating duct is dependent in a measure on the amount of radiant heat energy provided by the heating means 54.
- the operator telescopes a rigid fibrous duct or duct section 10 onto the supporting collars 34 and 35 to the position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the operator then telescopes or draws a length of the tubular unshrunk organic film onto the duct 10 to the position shown in FIG. 1 with the ends of the tubular jacket extending beyond the ends of the duct.
- the same or similar heating unit 57 is then disposed in the position shown at 57' in FIG. 3 at the right end of the duct 10 to shrink the material of the jacket around the female end 14 of the duct to the position illustrated in F165. 6 and 7.
- the action of shrinking the material of the jacket around the male end of the duct draws the left end region of the jacket so that the end 17 is in the position shown in F [68. 3 and 5 in snug engagement with the tenon 12.
- the heating means 54 extending throughout the length of the duct, shrinks the film or jacket into intimate tensioned engagement with duct as the duct and jacket are slowly rotated by the motor 27.
- the radiant energy of the heating means is reflected by the U-shaped support member 53 so that the radiant heat energy is efficiently employed in shrinking the film or jacket 16.
- a temperature of about 270 F. at the peripheral region of the jacket adjacent the heating means 54 is effective to shrink a film of polyvinylidene but other heatshrinkable films may require different temperatures.
- the temperature at the periphery of the jacket should be in a range between 225 F. and 300 F. It is found that the radiant heating means 54 in heat-applying position, shown in H0. 4, may be in a range of about 1 inch to 3 inches from the periphery of the jacket on the duct.
- the carriage 45 is retracted to the position shown in FIG. 2.
- the operator trims the overhanging inwardly extending portion 40 of the film at the female end of the duct to form a circular opening defined by the inner circular terminus 41 of the jacket end, shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.
- the overhanging portion 40 is sufficient to be folded along the male portion 12 during assembly of the ship lap ends of the duct sections.
- the trimming of the inwardly extending jacket portion 40 may be accomplished by use of a sharp instrument or an electrically heated tool of conventional construction. The operator then withdraws the completed sheathed duct section lengthwise from the collars 34 and 35 on the shaft 24.
- the male end is engaged with a female end in ship lap fashion, and the overhanging portion 40 of the jacket at the female end is folded along the tenon 12 providing overlapping engagement of end portions of the films or jackets 16 at the juncture of adjacent duct sections.
- Collars or support means 34 and 35 for the duct sections are provided of various diameters to accommodate duct sections having interior diameters in a range of 4 to 20 inches or more.
- the variable speed mechanism contained in the housing 26 is adjusted to maintain the linear peripheral movement of a duct section at substantially a uniform rate so that the jacket is subjected to a substantially uniform heat treatment from the radiant heating means 54 irrespective of the diameter of the duct section.
- the method steps are then repeated upon a succeeding fibrous duct section fitted onto the support collars 34 and 35.
- FIG. 8 illustrates a modified arrangement for applying infrared or radiant heat to an organic film jacket on a fibrous duct section to shrink the jacket on the section.
- Mounted upon a base plate 66 are lengthwise spaced journal members 68 in which a shaft 69 is journally supported in substantial parallelism with the mandrel or shaft 24', the latter supporting a duct section on which is loosely disposed a heat-shrinkable organic film or jacket 16'.
- an upwardly extending frame or carriage 70 supporting a bar or member 71 of U-shaped cross section within which is supported radiant heating means 72.
- the heating means 72 may be of the calrod or resistance type.
- the position of the carriage 70 and heating means 72, when not in film-shrinking position, is illustrated in broken lines at 70'.
- An abutment member 74 mounted on the base 66 defines the retracted position of the frame 70.
- the base 66 is fashioned with a projection 76 having a threaded bore to accommodate an adjustable abutment means or threaded member 78 which, as shown in FIG. 8, determines the position of the frame 70 and heating means 72 when the latter is in a position providing radiant heat in jacket shrinking position.
- the abutment means or screw 78 may be adjusted to secure the desired operative position for the radiant heating means 72.
- the abutment screw 78 may be adjusted to change the operative position of the heating means 72.
- the mandrel 24' is rotated at a slow speed through speed-reducing mechanism contained in the housing 26 shown in FIG. 1.
- the operator telescopes a fibrous duct section 10 onto supporting collars carried by the shaft 24 and a length of tubular heat-shrinkable organic film providing the jacket is drawn or telescoped onto the rotating duct section 10'.
- the ends of the film or jacket 16' are shrunk into snug or intimate engagement with the end regions of the duct section by portable heating means of the character illustrated at 57 in FIGS. 3 and 4.
- the operator then swings the frame of carriage 70 in a counterclockwise direction about the axis of the 69 from the position 70 shown in broken lines to the full line position with the carriage engaging the abutment 78.
- the heating means 72 is in close proximity to the film or jacket on the duct and the radiant heat shrinks the film or jacket 16' into intimate unbonded surface engagement with the exterior of the duct 10'.
- the carriage 70 is moved by the operator to its outof-use position indicated at 70'.
- the portion of the jacket extending over the female end of the duct section is severed or trimmed as hereinbefore described to provide an opening such as the opening defined by the trimmed edge 41 shown in FIG. 6, thus completing the assembly of the jacket in intimate stressed condition on the duct section.
- portable heating units illustrated are of the type embodying electric resistance heating means and blower means for delivering heated air onto the ends of the jacket for shrinking the ends, it is to be understood that radiant-heating units may be employed for the purpose.
- the method of encasing a substantially rigid tubular fibrous body with a shrinkable tubular film including disposing the fibrous body in a substantially horizontal position upon a support, telescoping the tubular film lengthwise onto the fibrous body, directing heat from a heat source substantially the length of the tubular body toward the tubular film in heattransferring relation therewith, and effecting relative rotational movement between the heat source and the film on the fibrous body to shrink the film into intimate contact with the body throughout its periphery.
