Abstract
A protective textile sleeve includes a braided, tubular wall extending lengthwise along a central longitudinal axis between opposite ends. The wall includes hybrid yarns, with each of the hybrid yarns including at least one multifilament wrapped about a monofilament, such that the monofilament is concealed by the at least one multifilament.
Claims13
A protective textile sleeve, comprising:
- a tubular wall formed of yarns braided with one another, said tubular wall extending lengthwise along a central longitudinal axis between opposite ends;
- and
- at least some of said yarns including hybrid yarns, each of said hybrid yarns including at least one multifilament wrapped about a monofilament, wherein the monofilament is substantially concealed by the at least one multifilament,
- wherein the monofilaments have a diameter between about 0.1-0.4 mm.
