Abstract
The invention relates to a spiral wrap formed of an extruded profile coiled along a helical path around an axis. The profile having a first section and a second section; the first section having a first lip directed towards the axis; and the second section having a second lip directed away from the axis. The first lip and the second lip are arranged such that one of the lips is always in contact with an adjacent coil such that the engagement of adjacent coils of the spiral wrap prevents gaps in protection from forming even when the spiral wrap is curved.
Claims24
A spiral wrap formed of an extruded profile coiled along a helical path around an axis and configured to wrap around desired components, including those already installed on a worksite, with:
- the profile having a first section and a second section;
- the first section having a first lip directed towards the axis;
- and
- the second section having a second lip directed away from the axis;
- wherein the first lip and second lip are arranged on opposite ends of the profile;
- wherein the first lip and the second lip are arranged such that one of the lips is always in contact with an adjacent coil;
- wherein the first section is thicker than the second section;
- wherein the spiral wrap has a fully retracted configuration and a fully extended configuration;
- and
- wherein the first section further comprises a shoulder above where the first lip of a coil is stopped in the fully retracted configuration.
