Self-curling sleeve

A self-curling sleeve, comprising a substrate woven from a plurality of monofilament warp members and multifilament weft yams, said warp members being oriented along a warp direction and said weft yarns being oriented along a weft direction, said warp members and weft yarns being woven in a herringbone twill weave wherein said warp members form floats on one side of said substrate, said substrate curling about an axis parallel to said warp direction to define and surround a central space, said one side having said floats facing outwardly away from said central space.

A self-curling sleeve, comprising a substrate woven from a plurality of monofilament warp members and multifilament wefi yarns, said warp members being oriented along a warp direction and said weft yarns being oriented along a weft direction, said warp members and weft yarns being woven in a satin weave wherein said warp members form floats on one side of said substrate, said substrate curling about an axis parallel to said warp direction to define and surround a central space, said one side having said floats facing outwardly away from said central space.

A self-curling sleeve, comprising a substrate woven from a plurality of monofilament warp members and multifilament weft yams, said warp members being oriented along a warp direction and said weft yarns being oriented along a weft direction, said warp members and weft yarns being woven in a double cloth herringbone twill weave wherein said warp members form floats on one side of said substrate, said substrate curling about an axis parallel to said warp direction to define and surround a central space, said one side having said floats facing outwardly away from said central space.

A self-curling sleeve, comprising a substrate woven from a plurality of first monofilaments having a first diameter and a plurality of second monofilaments having a second diameter, said first monofilaments being oriented along a first direction and said second monofilaments being oriented along a second direction substantially perpendicular to said first direction, said first and second monofilaments being woven such that said first monofilaments form floats predominantly on one side of said substrate, said substrate curling about an axis parallel to said first monofilaments to define and surround a central space, said one side having said floats facing outwardly away from said central space.
