A strip is positioned along the outer surface using the outer support member and the internal support member. Then the strip is permanently welded to the outer surface using a welding element. Welding is performed by a welding element located in one (or both) of the internal support member or the outer support member.
Claims8
A system comprising:
- an internal support member inserted into a collapsible housing and arranged along a longitudinal axis of the collapsible housing;
- an outer support member arranged along an outer surface of the collapsible housing opposite the internal support member, wherein:
- the internal support member and the outer support member position a strip along the outer surface, wherein the internal support member comprises a monolithic structure that contacts opposing sides of an internal surface of the collapsible housing, an upper portion to support the collapsible housing, and a lower portion, wherein a widest width of the upper portion is larger than a widest width of the lower portion, and
- at least one of the internal support member or the outer support member comprises a welding element to weld the strip to the outer surface.
