Description
1 IMPROVED CABLE SLEEVE TAPING 2304228 This invention relates to an
improved cable sleeve taping.
Within the automobile component sector and more particularly that of cabling or wiring for automobiles, there exists cable sleeve taping, that is to say firmly connecting to form one sleeve body an assembly of separate cables of varying colours and characteristics in whose ends are arranged connectors also of varying characteristics and configurations. The taping operation comprises firmly connecting a plurality of electrical cables by means of tapes, preferably in helical arrangement, or by means of various rings situated longitudinally along an imaginary axis which passes through the centre of the sleeve. It is possible to effect the taping operation by means of simple tools, known as tapers, or manually when tape has to be arranged over small portions of the total length of the sleeve. 20 This operation, whether effected wholly manually or by means of the tapers (taping guns) obliges the operative to effect a plurality of repetitive wrist movements which cause frequent injuries, such as tendonitis and the like, in the persons charged with the task, for which reason the taping operation has come to be a problem within the general procedure of manufacturing sleeves.
According to the invention there is provided a cable sleeve taping system for electrical and like cables or wires in which the wires are assembled in a sleeve formed by wrapping the cables or wires with a plastics film of a substantially rectangular perimeter which has, aligned with one of its longitudinal edges, an adhesive band formed of a textile reinforcement firmly connected to the film by means of an adhesive material which, in the inactive position, is covered by means of a protective band.
With respect to the length and characteristics of the tapes, the arrangement of the plastics film may be wholly 2 cylindrical, the plastics film then being subjected immediately thereafter to a controlled heat to cause the retraction or shrinkage thereof and firm connection of all the cables inserted therein.
The invention will be illustrated, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is an upper plan view of the plastics film provided with an adhesive band in the vicinity of one of its longitudinal edges; Figure 2 is a section along the line 2-21 of Figure 1; and Figure 3 is an elevational side view of a sleeve covered with a plastics film according to the invention.
In one of the preferred embodiments of the subject matter of the present invention, as may be seen from Figure 1, a plastics film 10 is formed of a substantially rectangular, planar surface of slight thickness, with recessed points 12 formed in its upper surface in quincuncial arrangement, e.g. positioned at the points of a repeating channel shaped pattern, and with an adhesive band 11 arranged in the vicinity of one of its longitudinal edges. The adhesive band 11 is formed of a textile reinforcement 11a formed by longitudinal and transverse fibres forming a textile mesh, an adhesive material 11b which covers the textile reinforcement 11a and a releasable protective band lic which covers 11a and 11b when the film 10 is not operative.
As may be seen in Figure 2, the adhesive band 11 is no more than a layer of material 11b and lic in which are adhered both the textile reinforcement 11a which covers all the width of the band 11 and the protective band lic which covers it when the film 10 is not operative.
When the film 10 is operative, that is to say covering an assembly of cables 14 forming a sleeve 13 in one embodiment of the invention, it is arranged helically around the cables 14. The protective band lic is withdrawn from the band 11 and the band is wrapped around the cable. The film 10 covering the cables 14 forms a tube which, owing to the 3 recessed points 12 formed in the surface 10, retracts or shrinks when the resulting sleeve is subjected to heat, so connects the cables 14 firmly and forming a sleeve 13 as may be seen from Figure 3. 5 For the same taping system, it is possible to have a plurality of cables 14 forming a sleeve 13, with a coil which is both cylindrical and helical, and also firmly connected to 10 when the protective band lic is removed. The subject matter of the present Patent has been adequately described, in relation to the attached drawings, and it will be understood that any modifications in detail may be made to the same which are considered advantageous as long as the proposed variations do not alter the essence of the Patent summarized in the following claims.

Claims (5)
1. A cable sleeve taping system for electrical and like cables or wires in which the wires are assembled in a sleeve formed by wrapping the cables or wires with a plastics film of a substantially rectangular perimeter which has, aligned with one of its longitudinal edges, an adhesive band formed of a textile reinforcement firmly connected to the film by means of an adhesive material which, in the inactive position, is covered by means of a protective band.
2. A cable sleeve taping as claimed in Claim 1 in which one of the surfaces of the plastics film has an assembly of recessed points such that when the film is subjected to heat, the film retracts or shrinks.
3. A cable sleeve taping as claimed in Claim 1 or Claim 2 in which the assembly of cables is covered with the plastics film wound in a helical arrangement.
4. A cable sleeve taping as claimed in Claim 1 or Claim 2 in which the cables are covered with the film arranged in a cylindrical arrangement.
5. A cable sleeve taping system substantially as herein described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
