Inventors:

Lee Martin - West Chester PA, US

Assignee:

T&N Technology Limited - Cawston

International Classification:

C08K005/34
C08K005/49

US Classification:

524101000, 524115000

Abstract:

A sleeve for the protection of electrical wires or pipes formed from a flame-retardant nylon or polyester monofilament wherein the monofilament is formed by a process comprising the steps of compounding a mixture consisting essentially of 5 to 20 weight percent melamine cyanurate and 3 to 10 weight percent of an organopolyphosphonate, with the balance being polymer; and extruding as a monofilament the compounded mixture.

Appl. No.:

9/012714

Inventors:

Lee H. Martin - West Chester PA

Assignee:

Federal-Mogul Systems Protection Group, Inc. - Exton PA

International Classification:

F16L 1112

US Classification:

138156

Abstract:

A tubular article of resilient material used as a protective sheathing for wires, hoses or other elongated substrates is provided with substantially circumferentially extending corrugations and a longitudinally slit side wall to allow for installation over the substrates. Fastening means in the form of hook-and-loop fastening tape is applied to the abutting edges of the slit so that the hooks and loops interlock when the slit is closed. The hook-and-loop tape protects the fingers of the worker during installation of the tubular article, prevents relative movement of the slit edges caused by turning and twisting forces, thereby eliminating undesirable noise during use and the need for taping following installation.

International Classification:

B29C 4406
B29C 4412

US Classification:

264 466

Abstract:

Convoluted tubing for automotive wiring harnesses and other elongated substrates is provided with sound dampening qualities by filling the valleys between convolutions with a flexible, resilient foamed composition, such as silicone rubber, and foaming the composition to cause expansion of the foam so that ribs of foam project radially from the valleys. In a preferred embodiment, spaced apertures are formed in the valleys to allow the expanding foam to form radially inwardly projecting fingers which contact the wiring harness and act to dampen vibrations. The corrugated tubing may be axially slit and the slit allowed to be filled with the foamed composition which, when foamed, eliminates noises caused by movement of the edge surfaces of the slit when torsional forces are applied to opposite ends of the tube.

Assignee:

T&N Technology Limited - Rugby

International Classification:

F16L 5700

US Classification:

138110

Abstract:

A flexible protective sleeve (10; 20) for use in protecting an elongated member (W). The sleeve comprises a generally tubular wall (12; 22) for at least substantially surrounding the member. The sleeve also comprises resiliently-deformable projections (16; 24) projecting from an inner surface (18; 26) of the wall, the projections being arranged so that they cushion relative movement between the member and the wall.
