Claims4
A process for forming a liquid filled reservoir with a fluid conduit, the fluid conduit having a frangible seal to prevent egress of fluid from the reservoir and through the conduit, the process comprising the steps of:
- (a) forming a reservoir body;
- (b) filling the reservoir body with a liquid;
- (c) positioning a base component on the reservoir body and using a set of first tools to heat seal the base component to the reservoir body, so as to create a fluid tight seal around the reservoir body, apart from the fluid conduit which remains unsealed;
- (d) positioning a separate set of second tools to heat seal across the conduit, wherein the heat applied by the second tool creates a frangible seal across the conduit.
