Definitions

  • the end cap can be provided as a separate member that is fastened to at least one of the inner tube and/or outer tube.
  • the inner tube be formed of a solid, impervious, tubular polymeric wall.
  • the ribs of the inner tube can form open pockets, also referred to as voids, between the inner tube and the outer tube to enhance energy dissipation, impact resistance, vibration reduction, and protection against the ingress of contamination into a central cavity bounded by the protective sleeve assembly.
  • the method further includes constructing the semi-rigid,, multilayer tube including an inner tube and an outer tube, and constructing the inner tube having a semi-rigid tubular wall including energy dissipating features that acts to dissipate energy to minimize the transmission of impact forces to the electrical member, while also enhancing cut-through resistance and protection against contamination ingress.
  • the method further includes constructing the outer tube as a textile tube disposed about the inner tube to provide cut- through resistance and resistance to abrasion to the protective sleeve assembly.
  • the method further includes constructing the ribs of the inner tube to extending radially outwardly from the impervious wall to form open, peripherally bounded pockets facing radially outwardly, also referred to as voids, thereby forming encapsulated chambers between the inner tube and the outer tube to enhance energy dissipation, impact resistance, vibration reduction, and protection against the ingress of contamination into a central cavity bounded by the protective sleeve assembly.
  • Figure 3 is a perspecti ve view of an inner tube and end cap of the protective sleeve assembly of Figure 2;
  • the inner tube 18 can be formed of any desired polymeric material appropriate for the intended application, including high temperattire resistant and high strength polymeric materials, including thermoplastic or thermoset materials (e.g. nylon, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinylchloride, polyethylene terephthalate, by way of example and without limitation).
  • the inner tube 18 can be molded via any suited molding technology for cost efficiency, though other manufacturing methods are contemplated herein, including machining operations,
  • the monofilaments and/or maltifilarnents can further include natural, organic fibers and/or inorganic fibers.
  • the outer tube 26 can be fixed relative to the inner tube 18 via any suitable fastening mechanism, including mechanical fasteners, adhesives and or weld joint(s).
