CA 2430038

The invention concerns a method which consists in: a) forming by extrusion an extruded thermoplastic tube (20) having, when coming out of the extruder, a diameter D¿1?; b) then subjecting said extruded tube of diameter D¿1? to a radiation treatment, so as to produced a cross-linked tube (21); c) after bringing said cross-linked tube (21) to a temperature not less than a temperature substantially equal to the melting point of its crystalline phase, subjecting it, in displacement, to a radial monoaxial expansion for form an expanded tube (22) of diameter D¿2?, then cooling it down to a temperature, typically room temperature, at which it can be cut into tube portions (23) with length substantially equal to the height of said caps (1); and e) assembling or forming a head (10, 100, 101, 102, 103) on said tube portion (23), so as to obtain a cap or top (1), with heat-shrinkable skirt, economical and having a homogeneous skirt (11, 12) free of axial connection line.

Dans ce procédé : a) on forme par extrusion un tube extrudé (20) en matière thermoplastique présentant, en sortie d'extrudeuse, un diamètre D1 ; b) puis, ledit tube extrudé de diamètre D1 est soumis à un traitement d'irradiation, de manière à former un tube réticulé (21) ; c) ledit tube réticulé (21), après avoir été porté à une température au moins égale à une température sensiblement égale à la température de fusion de sa phase cristalline, est soumis, au défilé, à une expansion monoaxiale radiale pour former un tube expansé (22) de diamètre D2, puis est refroidi jusqu'à la température, typiquement la température ambiante, à laquelle il peut être tronçonné ; d) ledit tube expansé (22) est ensuite tronçonné en portions de tube (23), de longueur sensiblement égale à la hauteur desdites capsules (1) ; et e) une tête (10, 100, 101, 102, 103) est ensuite assemblée à ou formée sur ladite portion de tube (23) ; de manière à obtenir une capsule ou une coiffe (1), à jupe thermorétractable, économique et présentant une jupe (11, 12) homogène exempte de ligne de raccordement axial.
