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.

Abstract: A knit tubular sleeve for providing abrasion resistance and expansion restriction to an elastic elongate member extending therethrough and method of construction thereof is provided. The knit tubular sleeve includes a knit tubular wall extending along a longitudinal axis between opposite ends. The knit wall has a plurality of coaxially aligned first regions forming crests spaced axially from one another by intermediate second regions forming troughs between the crests. The first and second regions are knitted over a plurality of courses, with each of the courses comprising a plurality of knit stitches extending circumferentially around the longitudinal axis. The courses of the first regions are formed with a different pattern of knit stitches from the courses of the second regions, wherein the second regions provide the wall with a decreased capacity to expand radially relative to the first regions, thereby inhibiting the elongate member against radial expansion.

Abstract: A method for applying an elastomer on a sheath (2) includes the step of applying by pad-printing an elastomer layer on a portion (20) of the sheath (2). A pad-printing machine (1) is also provided for implementing the method. The invention can particularly be used for textile sheaths used in the protection of exhaust-gas flow pipes in an automobile.

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).

Abstract: The invention relates to a textile protection element (30) for a plastic support (33) of knitted embodiment, comprising at least one section (31, 32) with a thermosealing textile thread (2). The above is particularly of use for protection of a plastic hose.

Abstract: The invention concerns a protective sleeve for fluid circulation tube made of an interwoven fiber structure formed by a strip (10) of interwoven fibers comprising at least a pocket (11) extending in the transverse direction of the strip (10) and including a spring (13) housed in the pocket (11) and designed, in a stable equilibrium position, to maintain the protective sheath closed by overlapping of the longitudinal edges (10c, 10d) of the strip. The invention is useful in particular for thermal protection of an exhaust gas recycling duct in a motor vehicle.

Abstract: A heat-reflective protective sleeve includes a substrate (10) and a sheet of reflective material (20) fixed on the substrate (10). The substrate (10) is elastically deformable from a non-operating position and the sheet (20) is pleated on the substrate (10) in the non-operating position.
