Abstract
The invention relates to a sleeve of braided sheath having at least one expanded end whose diameter is greater than the nominal diameter of the sheath; the expanded end includes a certain quantity of adhesive between its component filaments and it is surrounded, at least up to its free edge, by a ring of heat-shrink plastics material. The ring is shrunk in part only so as to be capable of being heat shrunk again once the sleeve has been put into place, thereby clamping the expanded end and fixing the position of said sleeve.
Claims13
A braided sheath sleeve for threading over at least one elongate element to be protected, wherein the sleeve has at least one expanded end having an expanded shape whose diameter is greater than a nominal diameter of the sleeve, said expanded end including a first adhesive between component filaments so as to maintain the expanded shape of said at least one end and being surrounded, at least as far as a free edge, by a ring of a heat-shrink plastic material, said ring being partially shrunk on the expanded end of the sleeve and being able to be further shrunk for clamping said expanded end onto said at least one elongate element.
