Abstract: A thermal sleeve for protecting an electronic member connected to a wiring harness against exposure to heat is provided. The thermal sleeve has a tubular member including a circumferentially continuous wall with an inner surface bounding an inner cavity extending along a central axis between open opposite ends and a reflective outer surface. The thermal sleeve includes a positioning member constructed of a separate piece of material from the tubular member. The positioning member has a circumferentially continuous, tubular portion and at least one resilient flange extending radially inwardly from the tubular portion for abutment with the wiring harness. The tubular portion has a plurality of tangs extending radially therefrom. The tangs are fixedly disposed in the wall of the tubular member to inhibit relative rotational and/or axial movement between the tubular member and the positioning device.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A wrappable textile sleeve for protecting a conductive elongate member against at least one of EMI, RFI or ESD and method of construction thereof is provided. The sleeve includes a plurality of warp filaments and at least one weft filament woven with one another to form a woven substrate. The woven substrate has opposite sides extending lengthwise between opposite ends. The opposite sides are wrappable about a central longitudinal axis into overlapping relation with one another to circumferentially enclose the elongate member within a cavity of the sleeve. At least some of the warp filaments are provided as generally flat, thin conductive filaments shield the conductive elongate member against the effects of EMI, RFI and/or ESD.

Abstract: A wrappable textile sleeve and method of construction thereof is provided. The sleeve includes a woven wall having opposite inner and outer edges extending in a lengthwise direction along a central longitudinal axis of the sleeve between opposite ends. The opposite inner and outer edges are wrappable into overlapping relation with one another to form an inner tubular cavity. The wall has an innermost woven layer and an outermost woven layer woven in attached relation with one another at one of the opposite inner and outer edges. A reflective layer is sandwiched between the innermost woven layer and the outermost woven layer, such that the outermost woven layer protects the underlying reflective layer against abrasion.

Abstract: A wrappable textile sleeve and method of construction thereof is provided. The wrappable textile sleeve includes an elongate wall extending along a longitudinal axis between opposite ends with lengthwise extending edges extending parallel or substantially parallel with the longitudinal axis between the opposite ends. The wall is woven from lengthwise extending warp yarns and circumferentially extending weft yarns. The weft yarns form a plurality of discrete annular bands, with adjacent bands having weft yarns of different diameters to provide the wall with discrete enhanced hoop strength regions and with discrete enhanced flexibility regions, where the enhanced hoop strength and enhanced flexibility regions alternate in adjacent relation with one another.

Abstract: A warp knit textile sleeve is provided. The sleeve has an elongate, wrappable wall extending along a longitudinal axis between opposite ends. The wall has opposite free edges extending lengthwise along the longitudinal axis between the opposite ends. The wall is knit from at least one warp yarn extending lengthwise between the opposite ends and a plurality of weft yarns extending circumferentially between the opposite free edges. The weft yarns form a plurality of discrete, annular bands alternating in adjacent relation along the longitudinal axis. The weft yarn of one of the adjacent bands has a first diameter and the weft yarn of the other of the adjacent bands has a second diameter, wherein the first diameter is less than the second diameter.
