Abstract
An elongated insulating cover of high temperature resistant cloth is impregnated on one side with a fluid sealing high temperature resistant flexible coating, and is covered on the other side with a metallic coating. Fasteners are secured along both sides of the cover; which cover is then overlapped around aircraft flammable fluid lines with the fluid sealing flexible coating on the inside, and the fasteners joined together.
Claims13
A flexible fluid resistant cover comprising:
- a fabric of high temperature resistant material of a width to overlap around aircraft flammable fluid lines to direct any leaking fluids away from potential fire areas, a temperature resistant flexible plastic impregnating the inside surface of the fabric, a metallic reflective coating on the outside surface of the fabric, and means for quickly attaching and removing the treated fabric from the flammable fluid lines.
A flexible fluid resistant cover for aircraft flammable fluid lines comprising:
- an elongated strip of high temperature resistant cloth of a width for overlapping around aircraft flammable fluid lines, a high temperature resistant flexible material impregnating and sealing off the inside surface of the temperature resistant cloth, a metallic reflective coating on the outside surface of the cloth, and means for joining together the overlapping sides of the coated cloth to direct any leaking fluids away from hot surfaces.
A flexible fluid resistant cover for aircraft flammable fluid lines comprising:
- two layers of high temperature resistant cloth with the two layers having a width for overlapping around aircraft flammable fluid lines, a high temperature resistant flexible material impregnating and sealing off the inside surface of the layers of cloth, a metallic reflective coating on the outside surface of the layers of cloth, and means for joining together the overlapping sides of the layers of cloth to insulate the aircraft flammable fluid lines and to direct any leaking fluids away from potential fire areas.
A flexible fluid resistant cover for aircraft flammable fluid lines comprising:
- at least one layer of glass cloth, a silicone rubber impregnating and sealing off one of the outer surfaces of the glass cloth, a metallic reflective coating on the other outer surface of the glass cloth to in combination create a cover that wraps around aircraft flammable fluid lines with the silicone seal on the inside to direct any leaking fluids away from potential fire areas, and means for securing the wrapped cover to the lines.
