Abstract: A light guard is disclosed which is made from an electrically nonconductive high temperature resistant rigid plastic material and includes a shield member and a protective cage member. The cage member is releasably latched to the shield member in supported relation thereon to facilitate complete detachment of the cage member for access to a light bulb disposed within the light guard, the shield member having provision for connection to a light bulb socket holder and including hook means for selective hanging of the guard.

Abstract: A hermetic lead wire for use in conducting electricity to a motor in a hermetically sealed system such as a refrigeration system is formed with an electrically wound, laminated flexible foil tape surrounding an internal stranded conductor. The laminated tape is formed with an inner nonwoven fibrous layer of polyester fibers for interlocking with the conductor when melted by a hot stripping tool. An outer impervious foil layer of polyester on said laminated tape provides a dielectric shield for the wire. Preferably, the laminated tape is helically wound about the conductor and is covered with an outer flexible braided sheath of polyester filaments.
