Abstract
Abstract A perforated drainpipe in which at least one sheet comprised of polymeric material is shaped in generally tubular configuration with adjacent edges thereof being slightly spaced apart to define therebetween a gap extending along the tubular sheet, and at least one ribbon comprised of polymeric material, which can be the same or different as that in the tubular sheet, helically wound around the tubular sheet, preferably by extrusion, and integrally bonded thereto so as to reinforce the same and maintain the shape of the same. The sheet or sheets can extend longitudinally, being bent or curved width-wise so as to have such tubular shape, with the gap extending longitudinally.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
79 words
A drainpipe comprising at least one sheet comprised of polymeric material, such sheet being in generally tubular configuration with at least one gap extending generally lengthwise therealong and defined by adjacent sheet edges slightly spaced apart from one another, and wound helically around the exterior periphery of said tubular sheet configuration and bridging said gap at least one ribbon comprised of polymeric material, such ribbon being bonded to the sheet configuration and serving to reinforce and shape the same.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
79 words
A drainpipe comprising at least one sheet comprised of polymeric material, such sheet being in generally tubular configuration with at least one gap extending generally lengthwise therealong and defined by adjacent sheet edges slightly spaced apart from one another, and wound helically around the exterior periphery of said tubular sheet configuration and bridging said gap at least one ribbon comprised of polymeric material, such ribbon being bonded to the sheet configuration and serving to reinforce and shape the same.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A drainpipe as in claim 1, wherein all such sheets extend longitudinally of the drainpipe with at least one longitudinal gap between adjacent sheet edges.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
70 words
A method of making a drainpipe which comprises forming an elongated sheet comprised of polymeric material into a tubular configuration with a gap extending generally lengthwise therealong defined by slightly spaced apart adjacent sheet edges, and applying helically around the exterior periphery of the thus-formed sheet and bridging said gap at least one ribbon comprised of polymeric material and bonded to the sheet surface to reinforce and shape the same.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
70 words
A method of making a drainpipe which comprises forming an elongated sheet comprised of polymeric material into a tubular configuration with a gap extending generally lengthwise therealong defined by slightly spaced apart adjacent sheet edges, and applying helically around the exterior periphery of the thus-formed sheet and bridging said gap at least one ribbon comprised of polymeric material and bonded to the sheet surface to reinforce and shape the same.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
The method of claim 3, wherein such polymeric ribbon is formed by extruding the polymeric material thereof while in flowable condition helically around the periphery of the thus-formed sheet.
