Because Dupin cyclides which were used in computer aided geometric design for few years are impossible to obtain \(G^2\) connections between cones and cylinders, the author creates the so-called normal ringed surface to form curvature continuous connections in this paper. These normal ringed surfaces solve the problems of constructing a \(G^2\) connection of two cones, two cylinders, or a cone and a cylinder. A parametric representation of such surfaces is given. Two theorems give the necessary and sufficient conditions that a circle is a line of curvature of the normal ringed surface and that singular points are contained on the normal ringed surface. A simple algorithm is provided and used in some examples.
