Abstract
Abstract Closure of the end of an elastomeric tubing is provided by folding the end of the tube back on itself to form a band-like wrap, and inserting into the tube beneath the wrap the solid body of a plug of elastomeric material having at its outer end a resilient tubular portion which is then folded back outside and rearwardly beyond the wrap. Preferably the end of the plug inside the tube is also provided with an axial tubular portion, which extends further into the elastomeric tubing. The construction holds the plug in against gas pressure in the tube, and is suitable for use in the outer end of a catheter tube.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
A closure assembly for a resilient elastomeric tube, comprising: an integral turned-back elastic outer wrap formed from, and at, the end of said elstomeric tube; a plug member of elastomeric material having a relatively solid body portion positioned within said wrap and of a size to form a tight fit between said body and the interior of said wrap; said plug member having an integral resilient tubular portion extending outward from said end of said tube and folded back to a position overlying said wrap and said body portion, whereby both said wrap and said folded back portion of said member exert a radially-inward elastic pressure on said body portion of said member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
113 words
A closure assembly for a resilient elastomeric tube, comprising: an integral turned-back elastic outer wrap formed from, and at, the end of said elstomeric tube; a plug member of elastomeric material having a relatively solid body portion positioned within said wrap and of a size to form a tight fit between said body and the interior of said wrap; said plug member having an integral resilient tubular portion extending outward from said end of said tube and folded back to a position overlying said wrap and said body portion, whereby both said wrap and said folded back portion of said member exert a radially-inward elastic pressure on said body portion of said member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
The assembly of claim 1, in which said folded-back portion of said plug member extends rearward beyond said turnedback wrap of said tube, further to enhance the resistance of said plug member to expulsion by gas pressure in said tube.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
The assembly of claim 2, in which said plug member comprises another integral tubular portion extending into said tube from said body portion and forming a close fit with the interior of said tube.
