  • Patent number: 7754301
    Abstract: A non-woven acoustic sleeve and method of construction thereof provides routing and protection for elongate members and suppression of noise generation from the elongate members while in the sleeve. The sleeve has an elongate wall with opposite sides that are self-wrapping about a longitudinal axis to define a generally tubular cavity. The opposite sides are extendable away from one another under an externally applied force to allow the elongate members to be disposed radially into or removed from the cavity. When the external force is released, the opposite sides of the wall to return to their self wrapped configuration to enclose the elongate members and suppress noise therefrom.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20080254244
    Abstract: A textile sleeve for protecting elongate members and method of construction thereof provides a sleeve having a wall constructed at least in part from generally round monofilaments. The sleeve wall provides a central space extending along a longitudinal axis between opposite ends for receipt of the elongate members. The monofilaments have a region with a permanently melted and flattened outer surface adjacent at least one of the ends. The melted and flattened region provides an increased surface area to which tape can be adhered, while also acting to reduce the potential for end fray of the filaments forming the textile sleeve.
