  • Patent number: 9027367
    Abstract: A knit fabric for use as a wrap around-sleeve having connectors along opposed edges. The fabric comprises a body portion knitted in a single layer of warp and weft yarns, a first edge portion of warp and weft yarns formed into spaced chains which secure a woven tape having hooks onto the knit fabric and a second edge knit to form raised loops. The hooks secured along the first edge are adapted to secure with the loops along the second edge securing the fabric edges forming the fabric into a wrap-around sleeve.

  • Patent number: 7939128
    Abstract: A webbing formed of synthetic yarns having an indicator for indicating exposure to ultraviolet light which results in strength loss of said synthetic yarns. The strength loss indicator comprises a strip extending along at least a portion of the webbing. The strip includes a phosphorescent material that produces a glow when exposed to ultraviolet light. The phosphorescent material is adapted to lose its ability to produce a glow over time exposure to ultraviolet light. Advantageously, the ability to glow fades at a rate correlated to the rate of loss of tensile strength of said synthetic yarns due to ultraviolet light exposure to indicate the condition of the webbing.

  • Patent number: 4229615
    Abstract: A woven electrical multi-conductor cable is disclosed having alternating longitudinal sections having generally flat and round configurations wherein the flat section affords binding of the conductors in fixed locations for convenient termination and uni-directional routing and wherein conductors are harnessed in the round section in random order for gimbal flexibility affording omni-directional routing of the cable in the round section.

  • Patent number: 4159394
    Abstract: A woven multiconductor cable and method of making the same includes at least two longitudinal sections arranged in a side-by-side manner having a plurality of elongated conductors and a cut-line formed between the sections along which the filling strand of the woven cable may be cut along a desired length of the cable to separate the cable into individual sections which remain bound by alternate picks of the filling strand.

  • Patent number: 4158104
    Abstract: A curved woven cable having a plurality of conductors and a method for constructing the same is disclosed wherein warp binder strands and a fill strand are interwoven with the conductors with at least one void area being formed in which the conductors are not interwoven with the warp strands and fill strands so that the cable may be curved. In a preferred method, the void area is formed by weaving the warp strands and fill strands with the conductors removed from the weave to form a weave portion floated outside of the conductors but which remains an important structural portion of the cable in maintaining its curved configuration.

  • Patent number: 4143236
    Abstract: A woven electrical cable comprising a plurality of longitudinal conductor wires arranged in a substantially side-by-side manner for transmitting signals with a pair of longitudinal ground wires carried between adjacent conductor wires longitudinally coextending in a substantially parallel relationship with said conductor wires providing an associated ground wire on each side thereof for isolating a respective conductor wire. The conductor wires and ground wires are interwoven with insulating fiber strands to define a woven pattern with the associated ground wires being spaced from each respective conductor wire in the woven pattern so as to isolate and set the impedance of each conductor wire at a desired impedance value whereby the cable impedance may be controlled producing transmission of uniform signals with reduced cross-talk interference.

  • Patent number: 4095042
    Abstract: A shielded cable is disclosed in which a plurality of elongated conductor wires are interwoven with a plurality of metallic fiber strands to define a woven cover for isolating the conductor wires from electromagnetic interference. The woven cover includes a plurality of fiber warp strands woven with a continuous fiber fill strand defining a plain weave of metallic fibers around the conductor wires to shield from external interference and a plurality of warp binder strands woven between adjacent conductor wires between alternate top and bottom runs of the fill strand to shield the conductor wires from internal interference.

  • Patent number: 3984622
    Abstract: A multi-conductor cable harness includes a trunk having a woven cover enclosing a plurality of conductor wires, and a series of reduced trunk cover segments extended therefrom. Branches of wires are broken out of the woven cover at junctions of adjacent reduced segments so as to be spaced laterally, longitudinally and vertically with respect to each other. The branch portions are accurately separated into distinct branches for providing programmed connections for the conductor wires.
