  • Liner with integrated cable and method
    Patent number: 6153033
    Abstract: Liners are typically formed by several sheets of liner material that are welded together along an edge. Securing a liner in place could be vastly improved if a cable could be fixed to the liner. Therefore, several methods of securing a cable to the liner have been disclosed. In one embodiment, a passage is placed into a hot shoe wedge welder used in welding the liner sheets together. A cable is fed through the passage as thus is captured between the two portions of adjacent sheets being welded together. The cable can be unsheathed or slidable within a sheath. In the later case, the sheath would be fixed between the welded sheets, but the cable would still be slidable within the sheath. A sheathed cable could also be attached to a liner by melting a portion of the sheath and a portion of the liner and then pressing the two together. A modified hot shoe could be used in that process as well. Finally, a cable can be placed onto a liner and a plastic bead applied over the cable, attaching it to the liner.
