  • Patent number: 11485065
    Abstract: A wrappable protective sleeve for providing protection to at least one elongate member contained therein and methods of construction and use thereof are provided. The sleeve includes a flexible textile wall having opposite inner and outer faces bounded by opposite edges and opposite ends. The opposite edges extend generally parallel to one another between the opposite ends. A pair of adhesive layers is bonded to the inner face, with each of the adhesive layers being spaced from one another. The adhesive layers extend between the opposite ends adjacent the opposite edges. Further, a release paper is releasably adhered to the pair of adhesive layers for subsequent removal and use of the sleeve.

  • Patent number: 9091002
    Abstract: A wrappable textile sleeve and method of construction includes an elongate wall having warp yarns extending generally parallel to a longitudinal central axis of the sleeve and fill yarns extending circumferentially about the sleeve. The warp yarns and the fill yarns are woven in an overlying and underlying weave pattern with one another. The warp yarns are arranged in discrete groups alternating about a circumference of the wall with adjacent groups having a different number of the warp yarns. As such, the wall is provided with groups of increased numbers of warp yarns that provide the sleeve with enhanced rigidity and abrasion resistance, while also being provided with groups of decreased numbers of warp yarns that provide the sleeve with enhanced flexibility along the longitudinal central axis.

  • Patent number: 8445784
    Abstract: A protective device includes a mechanical protective sheath (20) and a thermal protective nozzle (30) mounted at one end (21) of the mechanical protective sheath (20), the mechanical protective sheath (20) including a tubular textile structure that is deformable by compression in the longitudinal direction of the mechanical protective sheath (20), the textile structure having, in a longitudinal compression area, an expanded sheath portion (25) adapted to interact by the reversion of one end (32) of the thermal protective nozzle (30). The device can be used in particular for protecting an element (11) connecting to a sensor (12) of an engine (13).

  • Publication number: 20110079965
    Abstract: The invention relates to a seal (10) including a casing, cross-sectionally defining a bulb (12) capable of changing shape to ensure sealing, and a lip (16) extending away from the bulb (12). An element (20) having a degree of elasticity perpendicularly to the cross-section is received in the lip (16). A furnace includes a muffle (2) and a front surface (4) defining a generally rectangular chute (6) therebetween. The seal (10) is mounted in the chute (6).

  • Patent number: 7241482
    Abstract: The invention concerns a protective sheath reclosable by overlapping comprising an outer longitudinal edge (10a) adapted to overlap an inner longitudinal edge (10b) of the sheath (10) in an overlap portion (13). Adhesive means (11) are fixed on an inner surface of the outer longitudinal edge (10a), the adhesive means (11) extending over a portion of the inner surface of the sheath (10) adapted to extend beyond the overlap portion (13). Said reclosable protective sheath is useful in particular for protecting at least an elongated object (15).

  • Patent number: 6948256
    Abstract: This invention relates to a saddle support device to compensate for the variations between the compound curved surfaces of animal backs and the corresponding compound curved surfaces of saddles. This invention includes a method of manufacturing that employs a measurement device with transverse linkages for defining the compound curved surface of the animal's back, that can have an additional adjustable form jig mechanism attached to create a fair curve between the transverse linkages, so that a moldable plastic can be draped over the adjustable form jig, to create a compound curved saddle support device. Employing the preferred method of manufacturing, a semi-rigid saddle support device comprising a two distinct panel structure with a single alignment arch can be made that will fit over the animal's back, to protect the loaded animal from the higher pressures caused by the variations in the saddle construction.

  • Publication number: 20030221328
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a saddle support device to compensate for the variations between the compound curved surfaces of animal backs and the corresponding compound curved surfaces of saddles. In particular, this disclosure is directed to a saddle support device and an adjustable form jig and a method to build the saddle support device with the adjustable form jig, to correct for the variation between the compound curved surfaces of animal backs and the corresponding compound curved surface of saddles, in order to permit a variety of saddles to fit an individual animal's back.
