Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0018800A1] A tapered body with edge portions (such as channels 1,2) of uniform cross-section united by a tapered web 3 are made from an extruded blank with a web of uniform width. This is formed between press tools over an area 8 so as to increase its width. If the web is planar, the press tools reduce the thickness of the area 8; if it is curved they may instead (or also) reduce its curvature. The width of this area 8, and/or the reduction in thickness or curvature or both, vary along the length of the blank so as to produce the required taper. The example is an electric connector receptacle, and is simultaneously formed with ribs 12 for engaging a locking projection provided on the corresponding wedge.
