Abstract
A toolage for manufacturing a tubular preform of fibers comprising a mold which has a deposition surface on which are superposed laps of fibers and a compacting device configured to cap the mold. The compacting device comprises first and second rings, at least one seal-tight flexible conduit linked to the first and second rings and at least one rigid link element linking the first and second rings. Such a compacting device makes it possible to greatly reduce the time for it to be installed, which makes it possible to reduce the duration of the compacting cycles.
