Technical Field This invention relates generally to a protective fabric sleeve for providing protection to an elongated member housed therein, and more particularly to a fabric sleeve having an elastomeric coating having indicator markings therein.

２．関連技術
中を通って延在する細長い部材に保護を与えるための保護布スリーブが公知である。周方向に連続する閉じた壁、または互いに重なり合う関係に巻き付けられるように構成される、長手方向に延在する対向端縁を有する巻き付け可能な壁を有する保護布スリーブも公知である。場合により、前述の公知のスリーブは、スリーブ内に収納されている内容物に対する付加的な保護のためにエラストマーコーティングを有する。名称および／または製品番号など、識別目的のためにスリーブの外面に指標を含むことがさらに公知であり、指標は、典型的には、インクジェット技術、パッド印刷、または他のインク塗布により、インクで設けられる。前述の指標は当初は有用であることがわかり得るが、特に熱および／または流体に晒されると、指標が摩耗してしまうという劣化によって問題が生じる可能性がある。 2. Related Art Protective fabric sleeves are known for providing protection to elongated members extending therethrough. Protective fabric sleeves having circumferentially continuous closed walls or wrappable walls having longitudinally extending opposed edges configured to be wrapped around one another in an overlapping relationship are also known. In some cases, the aforementioned known sleeves have an elastomeric coating for added protection to the contents contained within the sleeve. It is further known to include indicia on the exterior surface of the sleeve for identification purposes, such as a name and/or product number, which are typically applied in ink by inkjet technology, pad printing, or other ink application. While the aforementioned indicia may prove useful initially, problems may arise due to degradation, particularly when exposed to heat and/or fluids, such that the indicia wears off.

開示の要約
開示のある局面に従うと、中に収納されている細長い部材に保護を与えるための保護布スリーブおよびその構築方法が提供される。スリーブは、織込み糸で形成される壁と、壁の外面に接合されるエラストマー材料のコーティングとを有する。コーティングは、コーティングの外面を見る人に情報を提供するために指標をその中に有し、指標は、コーティングの外面の中へ径方向内向きに延在し、容易に摩耗されるのを回避するように指標に深さを与える。したがって、スリーブは、指標が摩耗してしまうという懸念なく、出荷され、保管され、かつ使用され得る。 SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE In accordance with one aspect of the disclosure, a protective fabric sleeve and method of construction thereof for providing protection to an elongated member housed therein is provided. The sleeve has a wall formed of woven yarn and a coating of elastomeric material bonded to an exterior surface of the wall. The coating has indicia therein to provide information to a person viewing the exterior surface of the coating, and the indicia extend radially inward into the exterior surface of the coating, giving the indicia depth to avoid being easily worn away. Thus, the sleeve can be shipped, stored, and used without concern that the indicia will wear off.

The method includes weaving threads to form a wall having an inner surface and an outer surface extending between opposing ends. Further, bonding a coating of elastomeric material to the outer surface, and forming indicators extending inwardly into the outer surface of the coating, providing depth to the indicators to avoid easy wear.

開示の別の局面に従うと、方法は、織込み糸の下方の外面を露出させるのを回避するように、コーティングの全厚みを貫通して延在しないように指標を形成することをさらに含むことができる。 According to another aspect of the disclosure, the method may further include forming the indicia so that they do not extend through the entire thickness of the coating to avoid exposing the outer surface underneath the interwoven yarn.

開示の別の局面に従うと、方法は、コーティングの厚みの約２５～７５パーセントの間になる指標の深さをさらに含み、それにより、指標の摩耗を回避しつつ、同時に、下方の糸の望ましくない露出を回避して糸に摩損および損傷が生じるのを防止することができる。 In accordance with another aspect of the disclosure, the method further includes a depth of the indicator that is between about 25 and 75 percent of the thickness of the coating, thereby avoiding wear of the indicator while at the same time avoiding undesirable exposure of the underlying threads to prevent fraying and damage to the threads.

開示の別の局面に従うと、方法は、コーティングの厚みの５０パーセントより大きい指標の深さを形成することをさらに含むことができる。それにより、指標がうっかり摩耗してしまうのを防止する能力を高めながら、深さがコーティングの全厚みを貫通して延在しないようにして、下方の糸の望ましくない露出を回避して糸に摩損および損傷が発生するのを防止する。 In accordance with another aspect of the disclosure, the method can further include forming the depth of the indicator to be greater than 50 percent of the thickness of the coating, thereby enhancing the ability of the indicator to prevent inadvertent wear while not extending the depth through the entire thickness of the coating to avoid undesirable exposure of the underlying threads, which could cause wear and tear on the threads.

現在好ましい実施形態の詳細な説明
図面をより詳細に参照すると、図１および図２は、一例としてかつ限定されることなく、ケーブル、ワイヤーハーネス、またはチューブなどの細長い部材１４を通しかつ保護するための、周方向に連続する継ぎ目のない壁１２および巻き付け可能な壁１２′をそれぞれ有するスリーブ１０、１０′を示す。細長い巻き付け可能な壁１２′は、対向する内側および外側の自由な側または側端縁を有する。これらは単に端縁１６、１７とも称され、対向する開放端１９、２０；１９′、２０′の間に両方の壁１２、１２′がそれぞれ延在する状態で、長手方向中心軸１８にほぼ平行に延在する。壁１２′の糸に形成されるヒートセットを介してなど、巻き付け可能な壁１２′の対向端縁１６、１７を「煙草包み」の態様で互いに重なり合う関係に付勢して、細長い部材１４をスリーブ１０′の中心空洞Ｃ内に完全に封入することができる。壁１２、１２′は、内面２１、２１′とも称される最内表面または最内面と、外面２３、２３′とも称される最外表面または最外面とを有し、空洞Ｃは、最内面２１、２１′によって規定されかつ境界決めされる。壁１２、１２′は、モノフィラメントおよび／またはマルチフィラメントを含むことができる織込み糸２５（図１および図２の別個の部分破断区域に示され、糸２５は、示されるように織り、編み、または編み組みされ得、図示は、糸を織込むための異なる機構を示しているが、任意の１つのスリーブに対して１つのみが行われると理解すべきである）と、壁１２、１２′の外面２９、２９′に接合されるエラストマー材料のコーティング２７とで形成される。コーティング２７は、任意の所望の記号、数字、文字等を含む指標２８をその中に有し、コーティング２７の外面３０を見る人に情報を提供する。指標２８は、長手方向中心軸１８に向かってコーティング２７の外面３０の中へ径方向内向きに延在し、容易に摩耗するのを回避するように指標２８に深さ（ｄ）を与える。したがって、スリーブ１０、１０′は、指標２８が摩耗してしまう懸念なく、出荷、保管、および使用され得る。 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PRESENTLY PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring more particularly to the drawings, Figures 1 and 2 show, by way of example and not limitation, a sleeve 10, 10' having a circumferentially continuous seamless wall 12 and a wrappable wall 12', respectively, for routing and protecting an elongated member 14, such as a cable, wire harness, or tube. The elongated wrappable wall 12' has opposing inner and outer free side or side edges, also referred to simply as edges 16, 17, which extend generally parallel to a central longitudinal axis 18, with both walls 12, 12' respectively extending between opposing open ends 19, 20; 19', 20'. The opposing edges 16, 17 of the wrappable wall 12' can be forced into overlapping relationship in the manner of a "cigarette wrap" to completely encapsulate the elongated member 14 within the central cavity C of the sleeve 10'. The walls 12, 12' have an innermost or innermost surface, also referred to as an inner surface 21, 21', and an outermost or outermost surface, also referred to as an outer surface 23, 23', with the cavity C defined and bounded by the innermost surface 21, 21'. The walls 12, 12' are formed of interwoven yarns 25 (shown in separate partial break areas in Figs. 1 and 2, the yarns 25 may be woven, knitted or braided as shown, which may include monofilaments and/or multifilaments, and a coating 27 of elastomeric material bonded to the outer surface 29, 29' of the walls 12, 12'. The coating 27 has indicia 28 therein, including any desired symbols, numbers, letters, etc., to provide information to a person viewing the outer surface 30 of the coating 27. The indicia 28 extend radially inwardly into the outer surface 30 of the coating 27 toward the central longitudinal axis 18, providing a depth (d) to the indicia 28 to avoid easy wear. Thus, the sleeves 10, 10' may be shipped, stored, and used without concern that the indicia 28 will wear away.

指標２８は、織込み糸２５の下方の外面２９、２９′を露出させるのを回避するように、コーティング２７の全厚み（ｔ）を貫通して延在しない。したがって、深さｄは厚みｔよりも小さく、それにより、指標２８の領域を含むスリーブ１０、１０′の全体にわたって糸２５がコーティング２７によって完全に保護されたままとなり、それにより、環境要素（破片）、熱的条件に糸２５が晒されるのを回避する。ある局面に従うと、指標２８の深さｄは、コーティング２７の厚みｔの約２５～７５パーセントの間であり、さらなる局面に従うと、指標２８が摩耗しないことを最も確実にするためには、指標２８の深さｄは、コーティング２７の厚みｔの５０パーセントより大きく、しかし、下方の糸２５の望ましくない露出を回避するためには、厚みｔの７５パーセントよりも小さい。 The indicators 28 do not extend through the entire thickness (t) of the coating 27 to avoid exposing the outer surface 29, 29' underneath the interwoven threads 25. Thus, the depth d is less than the thickness t, so that the threads 25 remain fully protected by the coating 27 throughout the entire sleeve 10, 10', including the area of the indicators 28, thereby avoiding exposure of the threads 25 to environmental elements (debris), thermal conditions. According to one aspect, the depth d of the indicators 28 is between about 25 and 75 percent of the thickness t of the coating 27, and according to a further aspect, the depth d of the indicators 28 is greater than 50 percent of the thickness t of the coating 27 to best ensure that the indicators 28 do not wear off, but less than 75 percent of the thickness t to avoid undesired exposure of the underlying threads 25.

コーティング２７のエラストマー材料をシリコーン系材料として設けることができ、糸２５は、織られる、編み組みされる、または編まれることによって織込まれ得る。 The elastomeric material of the coating 27 may be provided as a silicone-based material, and the yarn 25 may be woven, braided, or interwoven by knitting.

開示の別の局面に従うと、布保護スリーブ１０、１０′を構築する方法が提供される。方法は、糸２５を織込んで、対向端１９、２０；１９′、２０′の間に延在する内面２１、２１′および外面２９、２９′を有する壁１２、１２′を形成することを含む。さらに、エラストマー材料のコーティング２７を外面２９、２９′の全体に接合すること、およびコーティング２７の外面３０の中へと径方向内向きに延在する指標２８を形成して、容易に摩耗するのを回避するように指標２８に深さ（ｄ）を与えること、である。 According to another aspect of the disclosure, a method of constructing a fabric protective sleeve 10, 10' is provided. The method includes weaving threads 25 to form walls 12, 12' having inner surfaces 21, 21' and outer surfaces 29, 29' extending between opposite ends 19, 20; 19', 20'. Further, bonding a coating 27 of elastomeric material to the entire outer surfaces 29, 29', and forming an indicator 28 extending radially inwardly into the outer surface 30 of the coating 27 to provide a depth (d) to the indicator 28 to avoid easy wear.

方法は、織込み糸２５の、下方の外面２９、２９′を露出させるのを回避するように、深さｄが厚みｔよりも小さくなるように、指標２８がコーティング２７の全厚み（ｔ）を貫通して延在しないように指標２８を形成することをさらに含むことができる。 The method may further include forming the indicators 28 such that the indicators 28 do not extend through the entire thickness (t) of the coating 27, such that the depth d is less than the thickness t to avoid exposing the lower outer surfaces 29, 29' of the interwoven yarns 25.

方法は、コーティング２７のエラストマー材料をシリコーンまたはシリコーン系材料として設けることをさらに含むことができる。 The method may further include providing the elastomeric material of the coating 27 as a silicone or silicone-based material.

方法は、織り、編み組み、または編みプロセスのうちの１つを介して糸２５を織込むことをさらに含むことができる。 The method may further include weaving the yarn 25 through one of a weaving, braiding, or knitting process.

方法は、レーザで指標２８を形成することをさらに含むことができる。
用途の必要性に応じて、長さおよび直径を含む任意の好適なサイズを有するように壁１２、１２′を構築することができる。壁１２’が自動巻き付き壁として形成されるならば、マルチフィラメントおよび／またはモノフィラメントを問わず、横糸方向に周方向に延在する糸２５の少なくとも一部を、たとえばポリフェニレンスルフィド（ＰＰＳ）またはポリエチレンテレフタレート（ＰＥＴ）などの任意の好適な熱硬化性ポリマー材料として設けることができる。 The method may further include forming the indicia 28 with a laser.
