Definitions

• markers for electric wires and the like There exist several different types of markers for electric wires and the like.
• a problem common to all those types is a difficulty of making a given marker usable not only on a wire of a certain gauge but also • on vires the diameters of which vary within a wider or smaller interval.
• markers consisting of sleeves, manufactured by transverse cutting of a hose manufactured by extrusion of an elastic plastic material
• the problem has been solved by the sleeve comprising a folded or bellows-like portion which upon extension increases the efficient circumference of the sleeve.
• Such narking sleeves have a dimension in the longitudinal direction of the wire which often is approximately equal to the transverse dimension of the sleeve.
• the wall thickness is relatively great in relation to that measure and, in irs mounted condi ⁇ tion, the sleeve is securely retained thanks to the elasticity of the material and the friction between the outer surface of the wire and a comparatively great portion of the inner wall of the sleeve.
• markers are shown in e.g. SE 214,614 and S ⁇ 227,745.
• markers the type with which the present invention is concerned, may be described as consisting of a ring, meaning tha- the axial extension and the radial thickness are considerably less than the outer diameter.
• Fig.1 which in a perspective view shows a prior art ring marker which within a sectior. diametrically opposite to the marking syrrbols (FTM) has a bulging portion 1 , roughly of a semi-circular shape, the function of which is to assist in keeping the ring in a fixed position when mounted on a small gauge wire.
• the object of the invention is to solve the above mentioned problem.
• Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing a marker according to the invention.
• Fig. 3 shows a device according to Fig. 2 mounted on a relatively thick wire.
• Fig. 4 illustrates the way in which the device may be mounted on a thinner wire.
• Fig. 5 shows the device after completed mour.tir.g on a thin wire.
• the ring marker 2 shown in Fig. 2 does on each side of a diameter through the marking syrbols PT ⁇ i and the bulging part 1 exhibit an opening 3 which ir. the illu ⁇ strated embodiment extends along a considerable portion of the ring circumference.
• a thin wire 4 may be inserted through these openings 3 and mounted on the wire as shown in Fig. 5. The mounting operation is facilitated if the ring marker is first co ⁇ pressed a little in the insertion direction whereby the two openings 3 get located closer to each other as illustrated in Fie. 4.
• Fig. 3 shows the ring 2 in the conventional mar.ner mounted on a relatively thick wire or cable 5.
• the main advantage of this invention is that the range within which the marker may be used in terms of a usable diameter interval has been considerably increased thanks to the realization that openings 3 define a small gauge diameter interval which, together with the opening defined by the inner wall of the ring, results in a large total diameter interval.
• the elongate openings 3 could be replaced by two or more openings of mutually different sizes and having oval or circular form.
• the word "ring” has here been used in a functional and not in a geometric meaning and refers to any body closed in its circumferential direction which can be threaded around a wire quite independently of to which extent it looks like a circular rin ⁇ .
