Abstract
A wrap-around sleeve, for enclosing and protecting an object such as a wire bundle, comprises a plain weft-knitted sheet formed from a filament having an elastic modulus such that the sheet has a sufficiently high transverse curl force (which is the force with which the sheet tends to curl transversely) that the sleeve remains wrapped around the object without separate closure means. Preferably the elastic modulus of the filament is at least 4000 N.mm.sup.-2.
Claims14
A wrap-around sleeve comprising a plain weft-knitted sheet formed from at least one filament having an elastic modulus such that the sheet has a sufficiently high transverse curl force (as herein defined) that the sleeve remains wrapped around an object without separate closure means.
A knitted wrap-around sleeve having a transverse curl force (as herein defined) of at least 3 grams force per mm length and a knitted closure portion formed integrally therewith.
