Abstract
A fabric wrapped cable is formed by positioning adhesive on opposed layers of fabric. A cable is positioned between those layers and the layers are attached by attaching the adhesive of one layer to the adhesive of the other layer. In forming the wrapped cable in such a manner, the cable is provided with at least one wing.
Claims2
A method of preparing a cable for insertion into a conduit comprising the steps of providing a sheet of fabric material having separate layers on the same side of the sheet at each end of the sheet, the fabric material having a coefficient of friction less than that of the cable relative to the conduit;
- positioning the fabric material around, and in contact with, the cable;
- and attaching the separate layers so as to encase the cable in contact with the fabric material without attaching the fabric material to the cable, and so as to form a wing extending outwardly from the cable.
