Abstract: The Pro Sleeve is a tubular steel grommet, with an open channel running its length, which would be placed around a wire or pipe by passing the wire/pipe through the open channel. The channel may be bent closed, and/or locked shut, thereafter the Pro Sleeve should be slid along the wire/pipe and inserted into the hole, drilled through the stud or joist, that the wire/pipe passes through. The Pro Sleeve has anchors on both sides to keep it in place. The anchors, short strips of metal attached to the body, are bent 90 degrees thus securing the Pro Sleeve in the interior of the drilled hole. When the Pro Sleeve is in place it provides a shield around the wire/pipe, by stopping or deflecting any nail or screw coming into the stud or joist, thus protecting the wires and pipes from being compromised.

Abstract: The Protector Sleeve is a grommet, preferably cylindrical or rectangular, made of steel, that would be located in a hole drilled through a stud or joist in wood frame construction. It has anchors on both sides to keep it in place. The anchors, short strips of metal attached to the body, which are bent 90 degrees and can have barbs, or holes for a fastener (nail/screw/tack), will allow the body of the grommet to rest or be suspended in the hole drilled in the stud. When the Protector Sleeve is in place it shields the interior of the hole that was drilled, thereby protecting the wire or pipe that the hole was drilled for from being punctured by any screw or nail that might be driven through the wall and into the stud. The steel of the Protector Sleeve either stops, or deflects, the nail or screw.

Abstract: The “Protector Sleeve For Wires And Pipes In Wood Frame Construction” is a cylindrical grommet/bushing, that looks like a short length of pipe, that fits snugly in any hole drilled through a stud or joist in wood frame construction and which has anchors on both sides to keep it in place. When the “Protector Sleeve” is in place it shields the hole that was drilled and thereby protects the wire or pipe that the hole was drilled for from being punctured by any screw or nail that might be driven through the wall and into the stud. The “Protector Sleeve” also serves to provide a smooth surface for wires to pass through as they are being pulled through several studs at a time towards their end point. The “Protector Sleeve” also reinforces the stud where it was weakened by the hole that was drilled.
