A protective cover 10 provides cut-resistant protection, primarily but not exclusively, for wire ropes and cables and comprises a seamless woven structure that defines an outer sleeve 12 and at least one inner sleeve 11, which are substantially unconnected by binder yarns other than along a selvage edge 13 of the cover 10. A plurality of wires, cables and/ or flexible strips or rods 17 are incorporated into the cover 10 along its length during weaving and spaced around the periphery of the inner sleeve 11. Preferably, the wires, cables and/ or flexible strips or rods 17 are retained in position between adjacent sleeves 11, 12 by stitcher yarns 18 that tack the sleeves together at predetermined spaced intervals along the length of the cover. An electrical alarm cable (20, Figure 6) may be incorporated during weaving. The weave of the inner sleeve may be tighter than the outer by increasing the number of yarns or by bulking the yarns, to provide enhanced stab resistance. The outer surface of the outer sleeve may be coated with a material to snag cutting tools. A cord 22 may be incorporated for pulling a cable onto the sleeve. Provides protection against metal theft. |
