Abstract
A wrap-around cable sleeve liner is formed from a blank consisting of a smooth covering sheet and a corrugated sheet, which are secured together and have a line of indentations extending at an angle to the corrugations of the corrugated sheet adjacent each end of the sheet to form a bend line for the adaptation portions. The cable sleeve liner blank is preferably cut from a large area panel and has the indentations formed after cutting the blank so that blanks for different sizes can be formed as needed.
Claims16
A wrap-around cable sleeve liner comprising a blank made of an outer smooth covering sheet cohering to a corrugated sheet, each of the sheets being of the same size and being a sandwich sheet of a plurality of layers of material, the blank being cut from a large area panel of the two cohering sheets to a desired size with corrugations of the corrugated sheet running along one edge and terminating at the ends of said blank, two lines of indentations being provided in the corrugations, said lines extending substantially parallel to the ends of the blank and extending at an angle to the corrugations of the corrugated sheet to form a bend line adjacent each end of the blank so that the ends of the liner can be bent on said bend lines to be adapted to different diameters of cables introduced into the wrap-around cable sleeve liner.
A method for producing a wrap-around cable sleeve liner and subsequently wrapping the liner about a conductor, said liner having a covering sheet joined to a corrugated sheet with the corrugations of the corrugated sheet extending parallel to edges of the liner and substantially at right angles to the end of the liner, said method comprising the step of providing a large area panel made up of the smooth covering sheet cohering to the corrugated sheet;
- cutting a blank for the sleeve liner from said large area panel with the desired dimensions and edges of the blank extending parallel to the direction of corrugations of the corrugated sheet and the ends extending transverse thereto;
- providing a line of indentation extending transverse to the direction of the corrugations adjacent each of the ends of the blank to form an adapting area adjacent each of the ends, wrapping the liner blank around an object to be covered with the direction of wrapping being transverse to the direction of the corrugations and with the corrugations being on the inner surface;
- and then bending the adapting areas along the line of indentations down onto the objects extending outwardly from the ends of the liner.
