Section Shape Names

[watch_art]

There are all sorts of section shapes, and these couple of sketches don't even cover them all, but I was wondering if they have names to describe the different shapes.

I know straight is one, but are there names for the different lip shapes? The section that curves in - like the Stipula Etruria?

Innies and outies and fatties and skinies and shorties and longies and smoothies and bumpies and biggies and smallies and ...

The Etruria type section might be descibed as a hyperboloid. I am curious about the other shapes as well.

So there's no list in a book somewhere that I just haven't seen with all these variations and proper names? Hmm.

Oh well... Jar's Dr. Suess style names fit quite well and are quite a bit of fun. I can go with that.

I have never come across a taxonomy of section shapes. But maybe there is something of the sort that designers use? Something in the industry?

2. bluff faced pipotype

 

3. flair ended cannula

 

4. common pinch cylinder

 

5. chamfer lipped pinch cylinder

 

6. flare bottomed ductular.

 

 

 

 

Did any of those sound convincing?
