  • Patent number: 12119628
    Abstract: A textile sleeve for routing and protecting an elongate member and method of construction thereof are provided. The sleeve has a wall with opposite edges extending lengthwise between opposite ends. The edges are configured to be wrapped about a central longitudinal axis to bound the elongate member within an enclosed cavity. The wall is formed of interlaced heat-resistant yarn with at least one hook-type fastener member along one of the edges and at least one loop-type fastener member along the other of the edges. The hook-type fastener member and the loop-type fastener member are configured to attach with one another to maintain the opposite edges in releasably fixed, overlapping relation with one another.

  • Publication number: 20230309284
    Abstract: A textile sleeve for routing and protecting an elongate member has a wrappable wall including a textile layer having an inner surface and an opposite outer surface extending lengthwise between opposite ends and widthwise between opposite edges. The opposite edges are configured to be wrapped about a central longitudinal axis to bound a central cavity extending lengthwise along the central longitudinal axis between the opposite ends. The textile layer is formed of yarns interlaced with one another, wherein a least some of the yarns include metal wire(s). A silicone-based layer is disposed about the outer surface of the textile layer to provide enhanced heat-resistance, dielectric protection and impact resistance.

  • Publication number: 20230304196
    Abstract: A textile sleeve for routing and protecting an elongate member has a wall including a textile layer with an inner surface and an opposite outer surface extending lengthwise along a central longitudinal axis between opposite ends. The inner surface is configured to bound a cavity sized for receipt of the elongate member therein. The textile layer is formed of yarns interlaced with one another, wherein a least some of the yarns include multifilaments resistant to heat and/or monofilaments resistant to heat, rendering the sleeve heat-resistant. A silicone-based coating is adhered to the outer surface to provide enhanced heat-resistance, dielectric protection and impact resistance.

  • Patent number: 11305508
    Abstract: A protective textile sleeve for routing and protecting elongate members against impact and method of constructed thereof are provided. The sleeve includes a plurality of yarns interlaced with one another, with the interlaced yarns forming an elongate, circumferentially continuous, tubular wall extending lengthwise along a longitudinal axis between opposite open ends. At least some of the plurality of yarns include tubular yarn having a central cavity extending along the length of the tubular yarn, thereby providing an impact resistant, dual layered wall to the tubular yarn. The sleeve can be constructed in a weaving, braiding or knitting process, wherein the tubular yarn can be interlaced as a woven yarn, braided yarn, or knit yarn, and further, the tubular yarn can be interlaced as an inserted yarn.

  • Patent number: 10590574
    Abstract: A protective textile sleeve and method of construction thereof is provided. The sleeve has a flexible, tubular wall of braided yarns. At least some of the yarns are provided as a plurality of monofilaments and at least some of the yarns are provided as a plurality of multifilaments. The plurality of multifilaments are braided in a plurality of separate bundles. Each of the bundles includes at least two multifilaments. The monofilaments are embedded into the multifilaments during the braiding process to lock the multifilaments in an “as braided” location to prevent shifting of the multifilaments during application and during use, thereby enhancing the abrasion resistance of the sleeve wall.

  • Patent number: 10538866
    Abstract: A wrappable textile sleeve for protecting an elongate member 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 wall. The woven wall 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 bound the elongate member within a cavity of the sleeve. At least one warp and/or weft filament is provided as a bulky, fluffy multifilament, wherein the bulky, fluffy multifilament is woven to form at least one float extending over 2 or more weft and/or warp yarns, wherein the at least one float provides loops sufficient to readily fix themselves to hooks of a standard hook and loop fastener.
