Definitions

  • Fig. 5 is a view of the prior art device shown in Fig. 4 in the folded position
  • Fig. 20 is a schematic partially exploded view of still another embodiment of the foldable member of this invention.
  • set 122 includes two slots, slot 126 and slot 128 separated by bridge element 130; and set 124 includes two slots, slot 132 and slot 134 separated by bridge element 136.
  • Each slot was about 1/8" wide and about 5/8" long in a 1% inch diameter Lexan tube.
  • Each bridge element was about 3/16 inches long.
  • Fig. 16 shows two sections 400 and 402 of a composite material tube arranged in an end-to-end manner defining gap 403 therebetween.
  • Figs. 18-19 there are three sets 340, 342, 344 of conforming members each made of three plies as shown and another set (not shown) on the side opposite ply set 344 resulting in foldable member 350, Fig. 19 with four slots two of which are shown at 352 and 354 in Fig. 19.
  • set 404a of conforming members 410a and 408a between tube sections 400 and 402 includes neck down regions 502, 504 designed to control the location of the folding of the conforming members and to prevent delamination or deformation of the conforming members.
  • neck down regions 506, 508, 510, and 512 are shown in Fig. 23 by neck down regions 506, 508, 510, and 512.
  • neck down regions 506, 508, 510, and 512 Preferably, it is only at these neck down regions that the individual conforming members are adhered together and the set of conforming members are then adhered and optionally fastened using fastener 516 to the tube sections at the neck down region.
