Abstract:
A knit fabric, protective sleeve and glove constructed therefrom has three knit layers knit constructed and knit to one another in a single knitting operation to provide the fabric as a single piece of knit material. The fabric includes an outer layer, an inner layer and an intermediate layer sandwiched between the outer and inner layers. The outer layer is knit with a first yarn, the inner layer is knit with a second yarn and the intermediate layer is knit with a third yam in looped fashion about at least some of the first and second yarns to provide an integrally knit structure having three layers knit stitched together in a single knitting process.
Abstract:
A heat shield and heat shield assembly for protecting components exposed to heat are disclosed. The heat shield includes a shroud shaped to cover the component, the shroud having heat reflective layers and a heat insulating layer. The shroud is attached to a clip for removable attachment to the component. A flexible, resilient tab extends from the shroud, the tab providing a means for attaching the heat shield to a wiring harness to form an assembly connectable to the component. The tab is bendable for relative movement of the shroud from a position spaced from the component to a position in which the shroud covers the component upon connection of the wiring harness to the component.

Abstract:
An RFI/EMI shield formed of interlaced conducting and non-conducting filamentary members is disclosed. The shield takes the form of a sleeve with a longitudinal seam, the sleeve being biased so that free edges defining the seam are positioned in overlapping relation. A pair of filamentary drain members are positioned adjacent to each other and covered by one of the free edges. One of the drain members is continuously interlaced with the filamentary members forming the sleeve, the other is interlaced at a plurality of attachment regions arranged in spaced relation lengthwise along the sleeve. Between the attachment regions, the drain member floats on the surface of the sleeve and is extendible away from the sleeve for attachment to an electrical ground.
Abstract:
An elongate sleeve for protecting elongate members and method of construction thereof has a textile sleeve with a wall having an inner surface providing a cavity extending along a longitudinal axis of the sleeve for receiving the elongate members. A resilient support member is arranged in communication with the wall. The support member has an arcuate shape in lateral cross-section with an outer convex surface facing outwardly from the axis for flush engagement with the inner surface of the wall and an inner concave surface facing inwardly toward the axis. The support member extends less than completely about a circumference of the inner surface.

Abstract:
An RFI/EMI shield (10) formed of interlaced conducting and non-conducting filaments (14). The shield (10) takes the form of a sleeve (12) with a longitudinal seam (30), and is biased so that free edges (32 and 34) defining the seam (30) are positioned in overlapping relation. A pair of filamentary drain wires (16 and 18) are continiously interlaced with filamentary members (14) forming the sleeve (12) and the other drain wires (16 and 18) are interlaced at lengthwise along the sleeve (12). Between the attachment regions, the drain wires (16 and 18) float on the surface of the sleeve (12) and are extendible away from the sleeve (12) for attachment to an electrical ground.
