  • Patent number: 10543968
    Abstract: A low profile, wrappable spacer and method for maintaining a pair of elongate members in fixed, spaced relation to one another is provided. The wrappable spacer includes a flexible elongate body having oppositely facing inner and outer faces extending along laterally spaced, lengthwise extending edges between opposite ends. The inner face has an adhesive surface. At least one member extends between the edges transversely to the lengthwise extending edges. The member extends outwardly from the adhesive surface, wherein the adhesive surface is configured for adhesion to at least one of the member, the elongate members or the outer face.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180230627
    Abstract: A high temperature resistant textile sleeve and method of construction thereof is provided. The textile sleeve has a flexible, tubular knit wall of thermoplastic yarns. The yarns are tightly knit with weft knit stitches extending along a circumferential direction about the tubular knit wall to provide a substantially smooth inner surface and a substantially smooth outer surface. The yarns are knit in a tricot stitch pattern, wherein the tricot knit stitches extend along a circumferentially direction of the sleeve wall.

  • Patent number: 9290876
    Abstract: A textile sleeve has wall of interlaced warp yarn and weft yarn. The warp yarn extends lengthwise along a longitudinal axis of the sleeve between opposite first and second ends of the sleeve. The warp yarn is non-metallic heat-shrinkable polymeric yarn. The sleeve has at least one electro-functional member interlaced with some of the weft yarn. The at least one electro-functional yarn extends along the longitudinal axis between the first and second ends. The non-metallic polymeric warp yarns have a greater heat-shrinkage ratio than the at least one electro-functional member. The non-metallic polymeric warp yarns are caused to be shortened in the lengthwise direction along the longitudinal axis relative to the at least one electro-functional member upon being heated.

  • 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).
