Abstract

A crimp stop is made of a U-shaped cross-section member made of a metal material, the member being annealed to soften the metal material. The crimp stop can be made by a process for including forming a metal material into a member having a U-shaped cross-section, annealing the member by heating, and cooling the annealed member to soften the metal material.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A crimp stop comprising a U-shaped cross-section member made of a metal material, the member being annealed to soften the metal material. 
   
   
       2 . The crimp stop according to  claim 1 , wherein the metal material is steel. 
   
   
       3 . The crimp stop according to  claim 1 , wherein the metal material is a NiCrCo alloy. 
   
   
       4 . The crimp stop according to  claim 1 , wherein a surface of an inside of the U-shaped member is not roughened, etched, stamped, or provided with a coating. 
   
   
       5 . A process for making a crimp stop, comprising forming a metal material into a member having a U-shaped cross-section, annealing the member by heating, and cooling the annealed member to soften the metal material. 
   
   
       6 . The process according to  claim 5 , wherein the member is annealed in a temperature range of 1800 to 2100° F. 
   
   
       7 . The process according to  claim 5 , wherein the metal material is steel. 
   
   
       8 . The process according to  claim 5 , wherein the metal material is a NiCrCo alloy. 
   
   
       9 . The process according to  claim 5 , wherein a surface of an inside of the U-shaped member is not roughened, etched, stamped, or provided with a coating. 
   
   
       10 . The crimp stop formed by the method of  claim 5 .
