Abstract
A conduit constructed from a coiled wire having an oval or elliptical cross-sectional shape.
Claims20
A conduit comprised of a wire coiled to form the conduit, the wire having a cross-section with a major axis and a minor axis, wherein a thickness of the wire along the major axis is greater than a thickness of the wire along the minor axis.
A method for forming a conduit which comprises the steps of:
- a. providing a wire, the wire having a cross-section with a major axis and a minor axis, wherein a thickness of the wire along the major axis is greater than a thickness of the wire along the minor axis;
- and
- b. coiling the wire to form the conduit.
A method for forming a control cable which comprises the steps of:
- a. providing a wire, the wire having a cross-section with a major axis and a minor axis, wherein a thickness of the wire along the major axis is greater than a thickness of the wire along the minor axis;
- b. providing an actuation cable;
- c. coiling the wire to form a conduit;
- and
- d. inserting the actuation cable through the conduit.
