Publication number: 20240151345Abstract: A thermal, flame protective sleeve for protecting a member therein and method of construction thereof. The sleeve includes a tubular member having a circumferentially continuous wall with a straight cylindrical inner surface bounding an inner cavity extending along a central longitudinal axis between open opposite ends. At least one end cap is fixed to at least one of the opposite ends. The at least one end cap has at least one resilient tine extending radially inwardly from an outer surface of the end cap sufficiently for engagement with an elongate member extending into the inner cavity of the tubular member. The at least one end cap is silicone.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Steven M. Galamba, William T. Rubel, JR., Cassie Marie Malloy

Patent number: 11834760Abstract: An end fray resistant textile sleeve includes an elongate wall having warp yarns extending generally parallel to a longitudinal central axis of the sleeve and fill yarns extending circumferentially about the sleeve. The warp yarns include at least two different types of yarns, with one of the types of warp yarns including activateable yarns and another of the types of yarns including non-activateable yarns. The activateable yarns can be provided as being activateable by at least one of heat, fluid and/or pressure, such that upon being activated, the yarns are caused to bond with the adjacent non-activateable warp yarns, as well as with the weft yarns with which they make contact. As such, the activateable yarns, upon being activated, become fixed with abutting warp yarns and weft yarns, thereby inhibiting end fray from resulting during a subsequent cold-cutting operation as well as in use.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2022Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Federal-Mogul Powertrain LLCInventors: Alexa A. Woodruff, Michael D. Knudson, Tianqu Gao, Cassie M. Malloy

Patent number: 11384457Abstract: A thermal sleeve for routing and protecting elongate members and method of construction thereof are provided. The sleeve has a tubular woven wall extending along a central axis between opposite open ends with an outer reflective foil layer fixed thereto. The wall is woven with lengthwise extending warp yarns and circumferentially extending fill yarns. The fill yarns include first and second fill yarns bundled in side-by-side abutting relation as a single pick, thereby forming discrete single pick bundles in axially spaced relation from one another. The first fill yarn is provided as a standard monofilament, while the second fill yarn is provided having a low melt material melted and bonded to the abutting first fill yarn and to portions of the abutting warp yarns, wherein the spaces between the discrete bundles remain substantially free of melted material, thereby further enhancing longitudinal flexibility of the sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2019Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: Federal-Mogul Powertrain LLCInventors: Cassie M.
