  • Patent number: 9617671
    Abstract: An end guide for a cord attachment device includes a cloth. The cloth is configured to fold over, unto, and overlap itself. The cloth has three portions. The first and second portions are longer than a third portion. The cloth is folded axially about a central longitudinal axis. The central longitudinal axis spans from the proximal end to the distal end of the cloth. The folding causes the first and second portions to overlap. A plurality of flutes are configured in the cloth by a plurality of stitch lines running parallel to each other and extending through first and second sides (the front and back) of the cloth and extending through the overlap of the first and second portions. At least one of the plurality of stitch lines are located between each of the flutes. The flutes span to both the proximal and distal ends of the cloth.

  • Patent number: 8584608
    Abstract: A rolling textile protective system for textile structural members includes n number of concentric sleeves having void spaces therebetween. The n number of concentric sleeves are concentrically positioned about a common axis. N number of concentric sleeves includes an inner sleeve, a middle sleeve, and an outer sleeve. The outer sleeve is a polytetrafluoroethylene cloth layer. A first fiberglass cloth layer is adjacent to the polytetrafluoroethylene cloth layer. A polybenzimidazole cloth layer is adjacent to the fiberglass cloth layer. A para-aramid synthetic fibrous cloth layer is adjacent to the polybenzimidazole cloth layer. A second fiberglass cloth layer is adjacent to the para-aramid synthetic fibrous cloth layer. The polytetrafluoroethylene cloth layer, the first fiberglass cloth layer, the polybenzimidazole cloth layer, the para-aramid synthetic fibrous cloth layer, and the second fiberglass cloth layer are stitched together.
