  • Patent number: 9277684
    Abstract: A self-wrapping, textile sleeve for routing and protecting elongate members from electromagnetic interference and a method of construction thereof is provided. The sleeve has an elongate wall constructed from interlaced yarns. At least one of the yarns is provided as heat-settable polymeric yarn that is heat-set to bias the wall into a self-wrapping configuration about a longitudinal central axis of the sleeve to bring opposite edges into overlapping relation with one another to provide a generally tubular cavity in which the elongate members are received. Further, at least one of the yarns is provided as a bi-component metallic wire having an aluminum core and an outer layer of copper.

  • Patent number: 8367182
    Abstract: A wrappable textile tubular sleeve for routing and protecting elongate members is provided. The sleeve includes an elongate wall constructed from interlaced yarns. The wall has opposite inner and outer edges extending between opposite ends of the sleeve parallel to a central longitudinal axis of the sleeve. The wall also has oppositely facing inner and outer faces extending between the inner and outer edges. The inner face bounds an inner cavity of the tubular sleeve upon wrapping the outer edge in outwardly overlapping relation with the inner edge about the central longitudinal axis. Further, an elongate fastener extends parallel to the central longitudinal axis adjacent the outer edge. The fastener faces outwardly from the outer face and is configured for attachment to an external support member.

  • Publication number: 20080124976
    Abstract: A tubular electromagnetic shielding sleeve has a longitudinal slit. The inventive sleeve includes a substrate (11) and a layer (12) of electrically-conductive material which is fixed to the inner face of the substrate (11), the layer (12) extending essentially from one edge (11a) to the other longitudinal edge (11b) of the substrate (11). Moreover, the substrate (11) and the layer (12) are separated from one another along a split segment (13) on at least one first longitudinal edge (11a). The invention can be used, for example, to protect bundles of electric cables (14) for use in aeronautics.
