Abstract: A tubular thermal sleeve assembly for providing protection to an elongate member and method of enhancing the robustness of a thermal sleeve with the assembly is provided. The thermal sleeve assembly includes a tubular wall of insulative material having an outer surface and an inner surface bounding a cavity extending along a longitudinal central axis for receipt of the elongate member. The assembly further includes a flexible outer layer of metallic material extending along the longitudinal central axis between opposite ends with the metallic material having a plurality of openings formed between the opposite ends.

Abstract: A heat shield and heat shield assembly for protecting components exposed to heat are disclosed. The heat shield includes a shroud shaped to cover the component, the shroud having heat reflective layers and a heat insulating layer. The shroud is attached to a clip for removable attachment to the component. A flexible, resilient tab extends from the shroud, the tab providing a means for attaching the heat shield to a wiring harness to form an assembly connectable to the component. The tab is bendable for relative movement of the shroud from a position spaced from the component to a position in which the shroud covers the component upon connection of the wiring harness to the component.

Abstract: An attachment device for attaching a substrate to a support structure is disclosed. The attachment device includes a housing having a space defined by facing wall portions. The space captures a rotatable push nut with flexible teeth. The housing is attached to the substrate using a flange positioned opposite one of the wall portions, the substrate being crimped between the flange and the wall portion. The device may be pushed onto a threaded stud to rapidly affix the substrate to the support structure. The push nut may be rotated within the housing to disengage it from the stud and thereby remove the substrate from the support structure.
