  • Publication number: 20240390711
    Abstract: A coated textile sleeve has a textile wall having a circumferentially continuous outer surface extending along a longitudinal axis between opposite open ends, wherein the textile wall is formed at least in part by flame-resistant multifilament yarn. An adhesive layer is bonded to the circumferentially continuous outer surface, and an impervious coating is bonded to the adhesive layer. The coated textile sleeve is stretchable axially and radially, thereby allowing the coated textile sleeve to flex and be easily assembled into close conforming, wrinkle-free relation about the bus-bar regardless of the number of bends and shape of the outer contour of an outer surface of the bus-bar.

  • Publication number: 20230018024
    Abstract: A flexible thermal insulator for an electric vehicle battery pack, and an electric vehicle battery pack therewith is provided. The flexible thermal insulator has a composite wall including a sheet of fire-resistant material having opposite first and second sides. A first pressure sensitive adhesive layer is bonded to the first side of the sheet of fire-resistant material. Further, one of a scrim reinforced, polyether ether ketone layer is bonded to the second side of the fire-resistant material, or a silicone rubber layer is bonded to the second side of the fire-resistant material.

  • Publication number: 20190308385
    Abstract: A self-wrapping sleeve and method of construction thereof is provided. The sleeve includes an elongate multilayered tubular wall having opposite edges extending along a longitudinal axis of the sleeve between opposite ends of the sleeve. The opposite edges are biased into a self-wrapping configuration about the longitudinal axis to define an internal cavity bounded by the tubular wall. The tubular wall includes a non-woven layer of intertwined fibers and a textile layer of interlaced filaments, wherein the non-woven layer is fixed to the textile layer via needled fibers of the non-woven layer being entangled with filaments of the textile layer.

  • Patent number: 9404204
    Abstract: A textile sleeve for routing and protecting elongate members and method of construction thereof is provided. The sleeve has a flexible, abrasion resistant, self-curling elongate wall constructed from woven monofilament and multifilament yarns. The wall has opposite edges extending parallel to a central axis of the sleeve. The wall is woven with warp yarns extending parallel to the central axis and fill yarns extending transverse to the warp yarns. The warp yarns are provided at least in part as first monofilament yarns and the fill yarns are provided as second monofilament yarns and second multifilament yarns. The second monofilament yarns have a larger diameter than the first monofilament yarns.

  • Patent number: 9228278
    Abstract: A textile sleeve for protecting elongate members and method of construction thereof is provided. The sleeve includes both monofilament and multifilament yarns woven in both warp and fill directions. The warp monofilaments provide the sleeve with increased abrasion resistance, while the warp multifilaments provide the sleeve with increased flexibility and coverage protection to protect elongate members within a cavity of the sleeve. The fill monofilaments provide the sleeve with increased abrasion resistance and the fill multifilaments provide the sleeve with increased flexibility and coverage protection. The method includes weaving the warp and fill yarns in one of an open or closed wall construction.

  • Patent number: 8925592
    Abstract: A textile sleeve for routing and protecting elongate members and method of construction thereof is provided. The sleeve includes an elongate wall having opposite edges extending parallel to a central axis of the sleeve. The wall is woven with warp yarns extending parallel to the axis and fill yarns extending transverse to the warp yarns. The warp yarns include monofilament yarns within an intermediate region of the wall and multifilament yarns within opposite edge regions of the wall to enhance abrasion resistance and curl, respectively, and the fill yarns include monofilament yarns larger in diameter than the fill monofilament yarns to provide further abrasion resistance, enhanced curl strength and multifilament yarns to provide increased coverage, maintain flexibility, and to maintain the warp monofilaments in their intended position.
