ABRASION RESISTANT BRAIDED SLEEVE.

摘要

Sleeves (10) of braided monofilament formed from resilient materials are fabricated incorporating flexible, non-resilient (i.e. relatively limp) multifilament warp yarns. Monofilaments braided from strands (11, 12) of high modulus engineered plastic materials provide enhanced pushbak and springback properties in sleeves formed of the braided material and the incorporation of relatively limp warp yarns such as spun or texturised yarns impart body, coverage and improved tensile strength without sacrifice of springback properties. "Loopies" which are characteristic of the use of monofilament warp yarns are avoided.
