Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Described herein are marker assemblies comprising an elongate denticule whose flat, pendent tines bear in snug and slidable relation heat recovered sleeves which conform to the flattened configuration of the tines. After positioning generally tubular heat recoverable sleeves over the pendent tines and recovery of the same, printed information may be imparted to the tine-borne sleeves, which thereafter may be removed from the denticular support and employed as identifying markers for electrical wire and the like.
  • the problems of piecemeal printing on wire markers and the like could be alleviated to a degree by a ticker tape approach in which a tube was flattened and fed through a typewriter.
  • a ticker tape approach in which a tube was flattened and fed through a typewriter.
  • the type, ribbon and platen of a conventional typewriter are designed to make clean impressions on relatively hard, smooth surfaces.
  • the keys would strike a double layer of soft plastic separated by a small air gap, likely resulting in fuzzy, multiple impressions with standard type mechanisms.
  • the ticker tape route the markers are attached in order end to end, so that only the markers at the ends of any given group would be available for installation.
  • ticker tape tube designed to be heat-shrinkable for minimum bulk installation on a wire or cable, it would not be susceptible to radiant heating to render indelible printed characters thereon, because that heating would prematurely effect heat recovery.
  • tubular marker unless made heat recoverable would continue to pose the retention problem previously alluded to, ie, the necessity that wire ends be bent to prevent loss during handling after marker application.
  • an assembly and a method for forming such an assembly comprising a support having an elongate spine from at least one side of which transversely project a plurality of flat tines spaced one apart from another, and a plurality of flattened tubular plastic sleeves snugly and slidably disposed over the tines so as to permit removal therefrom when drawn past the ends of the tines distant from the spine.
  • the sleeves are heat recovered onto the tines, assuming their flattened configuration so as to present a flat surface to a printing mechanism such as a typewriter key, which key is enabled to leave on the sleeve surface a clear impression by reason of the backstop provided during typing by the tine.
  • the heat recovered sleeves retain their flattened configuration when removed from the tines of their denticular support. However, when pressure is applied from their opposite sides, they open out to receive a wire. Release of pressure causes the informationbearing sleeve attempt to reassume its flattened configuration, so that the marker sleeve grips the wire about which it has been disposed much in the manner of a spring clip.
  • FIG. 1 is a partial pictorial view of an assembly according to one embodiment of this invention prior to heat recovery of the sleeves about appendages of a denticular support;
  • FIG. 2 is a partial pictorial view of the assembly of FIG. 1 following heat recovery of the sleeves;
  • FIG. 3 is a partial pictorial view of a typewriter platen bearing an assembly like that of FIG. 2 in the course of the'addition of printed information thereto;
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 are end views of an electrical conductor and respectively illustrate the retentive springaction of marker sleeves formed according to this invention.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 From lone side of elongate spine l0 project a plurality of flat tines 1l spaced one apart from another. Alternatively, of course, tines could extend from each side of the spine, facilitating typing of identical information on the so aligned sleeve pairs borne by the oppositely extending tines.
  • Heat recoverable sleeves 12 are disposed over individual ones of tines l1.
  • a release agent is disposed between the sleeves and tines, as by dipcoating the tines in such an agent or by nip-coating with such an agent the interior of a tubular member from which sleeves 12 are later cut.
  • the recovered sleeves 12l snugly and slidably conform to the flattened configuration of the tines 11, while admitting or ready removal therefrom when drawn past the ends of the tines distant from spine 10.
  • FIG. 3 depicts the platen of a conventional typewriter modified essentially only in that indentations have been cut into the hard rubber surface of the platen to receive and position the sleeves for presentation to the typewriter keys (additionally, if desired as an aid in registration, the platen may be provided with a sprocket wheel whose teeth 13 engage a train of perforations 14 disposed along the length of spine 10).
  • a conventional typewriter platen can be ideally configured for rapid printing of identifying information on the marker sleeve assembly.
  • the unindented portion of the platen can be used for conventional typing or an unmodified platen substituted by the typist whenever conventional typing is called for.
  • the heat absorptive characteristics of the dark printed characters will be such as to permit their being rendered indelible by exposure to radiant heat, all without unduly discoloring in the surrounding, printed portions of the flattened surface.
  • the same can be conveyed past, for example, an infrared source, effectively and indelibly burning the characters into the substance of the sleeve.
  • the uncovered sleeves 12 are manufactured so as to remember an interior circumferential dimension on the order of twice the width of tines 11 so that while recovery results in a snug disposition of the sleeves over the tines, the sleeves do not tend to substantially further recover when freed of the tines and raised to their recovery temperature.
  • the marker sleeve once free of its tine support and disposed over a wire or the like be heat recoverable to a low profile configuration, that may be done simply by appropriate sleeve dimensioning prior to impartation of heat recoverability. ln such cases, the tendency of sleeves recovered about the tines to attempt further recovery when subjected to radiant heat in course of rendering indelible their printed indicia is thwarted by the tines themselves.
  • the unrecovered sleeves are recoverable to an interior circumferential dimension ranging from about the width of the tines 11 to twice their width, depending upon whether one wishes further recovery once the sleeve is disposed about a wire.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate the retentive spring-action of a marker sleeve 15 prepared according to the invention when disposed about an electrical conductor 16.
  • imposition of pressure on opposite edges 17 and 18 of the sleeve causes its midportions to bow out, permitting ready insertion of conductor 16.
  • the flexible sleeve clamps the conductor 16 so that while on the one hand it is retained during handling 0f conductor 16, on the other it may be readily rotated about the conductor to present the identifying information it bears to whatever direction.
  • the denticular support material is chosen to withstand exposure to the temperature of sleeve recovery and in the case where it is desired that sleeves be further heat recoverable when removed from their tine supports, is made sufficiently rigid as to withstand recovery forces without substantial deflection. At the same time, it is preferred that the material be sufficiently flexible as to admit of disposition about the platen of a conventional typewriter. In the case Where the sleeves borne by the support are to be exposed to relatively greater temperatures in order to render printed characters thereon indelible, the support preferably has a high heat deflection temperature.
  • the preferred denticular support material is nylon 66, although those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that many other materials may be used, eg, stiff cardboard, flexible metal stock, etc.
  • the tines are preferably integral with the spine element of the support, and in such case the denticule is cut from sheet stock in such manner as to insure that any burrs are directed away from that surface adjacent the recovered sleeve surface upon which printing is to be effected. Otherwise, it may be that in course of typing portions of the sleeve will be impaled on the burrs, making removable of the sleeve from its supporting tine somewhat difficult.
  • the release agent may be coated on the denticular support or alternatively coated on the interior of the sleeves.
  • a lubricious release material is used, preferably it is one which either is not volatilized during indelibilization or one whose volatile by products are not harmful.
  • Preferred as a release agent or lubricant is a mixture of parts by weight tricholoroethane and 5 parts by weight silicone stopcock grease such as that available from the Dow Corning Corporation.
  • the heat recoverable sleeves of the invention formed from material comprising polymeric material capable of having plastic or elastic memory imparted thereto. Materials having such memory have been dimensionally changed from an original heat stable configuration to a dimensionally heat unstable configuration tending to move in the direction of the original configuration upon the application of heat alone.
  • plastic memory and elastic memory are used interchangeably herein and are intended to be mutually inclusive.
  • heat recoverable materials are found in Currie, U.S. Pat. No. 2,027,962, Cook et al., U.S. Pat. No. 3,086,242, and Clabburn, U.S. Pat. No. 3,721,749, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
  • One method of making a heat recoverable material consists in exposing a thermoplastic material to an amount of heat which is insufficient to allow the material to melt but sufficient to allow the molecular structure to become distorted; and then distorting the material to a new configuration and cooling the material in its distorted state. Subsequent increases in tempurature sufficient to reduce locked-in stresses caused by the initial plastic deformation will cause the article to tend to recover to its initial state.
  • heat recoverable articles are generally made involves the formation of a polymeric article having a first dimension, followed by crosslinking of the polymer.
  • the crosslinking can be effected by chemical means, eg, with peroxides, or by irradiation or by combinations of the two. Radiation employed can be of various types including charged particles, ie, beta and alpha, neutral particles, ie, neutrons, and electromagnetic, ie, gamma and ultraviolet, as is well known. Subsequent heating of the material will melt the crystals in a crystalline thermoplastic material or significantly lessen other internal molecular forces such as hydrogen bonding or dipoledipole interactions to an extent sufficient to allow distortion of the product.
  • doses of any desired amount can be used although, generally, a dosage of from 5 to 50, preferably 20-25 megarads will be sufficient.
  • polystyrene resin such as polyethylene, polybutene, various copolymers of ethylene, propylene and butene, polyvinyl halides, eg, polyvinyl chloride; ionomers and polyurethanes.
  • the polymeric material of 5 which the recoverable sleeve is formed contained a substantial proportion of filler material.
  • the preferred sleeve material contains 40 parts by weight low density polyethylene. l5 parts by weight ethylene-ethylene acrylate copolymer, 8 parts by weight white pigment, 3l parts by weight flame retardant, and 6 parts by weight antioxidant.
  • the recovery temperature of a sleeve so composed is on the order of about 105-l 10C.
  • Typewritten information contained on sleeves formed of the foregoing preferred composition was indelibilized by exposing the support-borne sleeves to a quartz tungsten filament for a short period (eg, approximately 0.7 seconds) during which time the temperature of the print portions of the sleeves is believed to have been raised to ca. 315C.
  • a quartz tungsten filament for a short period (eg, approximately 0.7 seconds) during which time the temperature of the print portions of the sleeves is believed to have been raised to ca. 315C.
  • An assembly comprising:
  • a flexible support spine comprised of an elongate spine from at least one side of which transversely projects a train of substantially parallel tines spaced one apart from the other, said support admitting of flexure so as to diminish the distance between opposite ends thereof while retaining said tines in mutually parallel orientation;
  • each of said sleeves being snugly and slidably disposed over one of said tines so as to admit of removal therefrom when drawn past the ends of said tines distant from said spine.
