Abstract: A thermal, flame protective sleeve for protecting a member therein and method of construction thereof. The sleeve includes a tubular member having a circumferentially continuous wall with a straight cylindrical inner surface bounding an inner cavity extending along a central longitudinal axis between open opposite ends. At least one end cap is fixed to at least one of the opposite ends. The at least one end cap has at least one resilient tine extending radially inwardly from an outer surface of the end cap sufficiently for engagement with an elongate member extending into the inner cavity of the tubular member. The at least one end cap is silicone.

Abstract: A flexible thermal insulator for an electric vehicle battery pack includes a first laminated outer layer bounded by a first outer layer periphery and a second laminated outer layer bounded by a second outer layer periphery. The first and second laminated outer layers each include respective first and second outer heat-resistant layers bonded to respective first and second heat-resistant outer coatings. An intermediate layer is sandwiched between the first laminated outer layer and the second laminated outer layer. A first circumferentially continuous, annular spacer is sandwiched between the first laminated outer layer and the intermediate layer to define and bound a first air pocket between the first laminated outer layer and the intermediate layer. A second circumferentially continuous, annular spacer is sandwiched between the second laminated outer layer and the intermediate layer to define and bound a second air pocket between the second laminated outer layer and the intermediate layer.

Abstract: A thermal sleeve for protecting an electronic member connected to a wiring harness against exposure to heat has a tubular member including an inner layer of insulative material and an outer layer of reflective material. The tubular member extends along a central longitudinal axis between opposite open ends. A plurality of slits extends lengthwise through one of the ends to form a plurality of fingers. The fingers are plastically deformed to extend radially inwardly toward the central longitudinal axis and form an opening for receipt of the wiring harness therethrough.
