Abstract (en)

[origin: US4469542A] Pieces of tube are produced from a flat flexible web by feeding the web intermittently into apparatus which first makes transverse incisions from each edge partly across the web at a spacing equal to the desired tube lengths. The side portions between the incisions are then folded along longitudinal fold lines so that their end edges overlap and are welded together. In a subsequent operation, the non-incised central flat portion of the web is severed in line with the incisions and the tube elements thus formed are then moved transversely to the direction of web movement by a reciprocating slide to stand upright on tube-shaping members.
