    摘要: A flexible thermal insulator for an electric vehicle battery pack, and an electric vehicle battery pack therewith is provided. The flexible thermal insulator has a composite wall including a sheet of fire-resistant material having opposite first and second sides. A first pressure sensitive adhesive layer is bonded to the first side of the sheet of fire-resistant material. Further, one of a scrim reinforced, polyether ether ketone layer is bonded to the second side of the fire-resistant material, or a silicone rubber layer is bonded to the second side of the fire-resistant material.

    摘要: A protective braided sleeve and method of construction thereof is provided. The sleeve includes a seamless, circumferentially continuous, tubular braided wall having a cavity extending lengthwise along a central longitudinal axis between opposite ends. The wall includes a plurality of yarns braided with one another, with at least one or more of the yarns including a bicomponent yarn including a core and an outer adhesive sheath adapted to be selectively melted to bond the wall to an elongate member extending through the cavity.

    摘要: A protective textile sleeve for providing protection to an elongate member contained therein; a method of construction thereof, and a method of bonding at least a portion of the sleeve to at least one of itself and an elongate member extending through a cavity thereof is provided. The sleeve has a wall of interlaced yarn, with the wall having an outermost surface and an innermost surface. The innermost surface is configured to bound a cavity extending between opposite open ends. The sleeve further includes an adhesive coating bonded to at least a portion of at least one of the outermost and innermost surfaces. The adhesive coating has a first, dried non-adhesive state and a second, wetted adhesive state, wherein the second adhesive state is activated via application of a water-based liquid thereto.

    摘要: A tool and method for fixing a textile sleeve about an elongate member is provided. The tool includes at least one clamp assembly having opposed heating clamp members movable between open and closed states and opposed cooling clamp members movable between open and closed states. Each of the heating and cooling clamp members have respective heating and cooling clamp surfaces configured for clamping abutment with the textile sleeve. The heating clamp surfaces are operably connected to a source of power to be selectively heated and the cooling clamp surfaces are operably connected to a source of coolant to be selectively cooled. A carrier is configured to support the textile sleeve for movement from a loading position to a location between the heating clamp members; from the heating clamp members to a position between the cooling clamp members, and from the position between the cooling clamp members to an unloading position.
