Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for locating electrically conductive cables.
- the term cable covers both a sheath containing several conductors and a single wire.
- each cable is achieved by means of a sleeve made of heat-shrinkable synthetic material, bearing identification signs on its outer face.
- the sleeve is engaged around the cable to be located, from one end of the latter, then is heat-shrunk on the cable, in order to be immobilized thereon.
- the manufacturers eliminate the heat-shrinking operation. Indeed, since the connection of a cable is made by means of a terminal disposed at the end of the cable, and constituting an extension of the latter, the terminal can carry out the retention of the sleeve.
- Figure 1 of the accompanying schematic drawing shows a known device, comprising a sleeve 2 of heat-shrinkable plastic, engaged on a conductive cable 3.
- the sleeve has, on its outer face, identification signs 4.
- the sleeve is heat-shrunk and flattened, which ensures its attachment to the cable.
- the technical problem underlying the invention is therefore to provide a device for locating an electrically conductive cable, implementing a sleeve, which can be retained on the cable without additional attachment device or heat-shrinking operation to be carried out at the at the time of installation, and can be engaged on the cable quickly and easily.
- the device which it relates to of the type comprising a sleeve intended to be engaged on a cable and the outer face of which comprises signs of identification of the cable in question, the sleeve being flattened, is essentially characterized in that a section of the sleeve is closed over at least part of the width of said sleeve, the non-closed part defining a passage for the cable.
- the sleeve is closed at at least one of its ends, over part of its width, the non-closed part delimiting a slot for the passage of the cable.
- at least one of the ends of the sleeve is closed over part of its width by gluing or welding, or by heat shrinking, by heating a part of this end or even a section of the sleeve located at a point. any length of this sleeve.
- the slot (s) provided at one or both ends of the sleeve allow the cable to be introduced and the latter to be brought out from the sleeve.
- the sleeve closure zone (s) make it possible to create sufficient pressure on the cable to ensure that it is held thereon during possible wiring.
- each slot is proportional to the diameter of the cable to be fitted to ensure good pressure of the sleeve on it. It should be noted that, insofar as the sleeve is flattened, this arrangement makes it possible to leave visible the two faces of the sleeve and to easily read the identification signs affixed to the sleeve.
- the two ends of the sleeve are closed over part of their width.
- the fact of having two slots at the two ends of the sleeve ensures good behavior of the sleeve on the cable.
- At least one of the two slots provided at the two ends of the sleeve is adjacent to an angle.
- the two slots provided at the two ends of the sleeve are adjacent to two opposite angles.
- This configuration is interesting because, when the cable is engaged in the sleeve, that is to say introduced into the latter by one of the slots of one end, it is easy to find the cable outlet slot outside of the sleeve, insofar as it is at an angle.
- each closure zone of one end of the sleeve is delimited, on the inside side of the sleeve, by an inclined line forming an angle of the order of 45 ° with the two edges of the longitudinal sleeve and transverse respectively that it connects.
- This structure prevents the cable from abutting at an angle, since the inclined line naturally directs the end of the cable towards the slot made in the considered end of the sleeve.
- a slot for the passage of the cable, formed at one end of the sleeve, is situated substantially halfway between the two angles delimiting this end of the sleeve.
- the two slots provided at the two ends of the sleeve are located substantially midway from the angles delimiting the two ends of the sleeve.
- this sleeve is made of heat-shrinkable plastic, and the end closure zones are obtained by heat sealing. It is however possible to envisage the use of other materials, including cardboard with a partial closure of one or both ends by gluing.
- Figure 4 is a view of a sleeve open at both ends.
- Figure 5 is a view of the sleeve of Figure 4 after partial closure of these two ends.
- Figure 6 is a view of the device of Figure 5 after engagement on a cable.
- Figure 7 is a view similar to Figure 6 of a variant of the device of Figure 6.
- FIG. 8 is a view in longitudinal section of the device in FIG. 7.
- Figures 9 to 11 are views similar to Figure 8 showing three other embodiments of this device.
- Figure 12 is a view of a sleeve of heat shrinkable material, one end of which is narrowed.
- Figure 13 is a view of a sleeve of heat shrinkable material which is narrowed not at one of its ends but on a section taken over part of its length.
- FIG. 4 represents a sleeve 22 constituting the device according to the invention.
- the two ends of this plastic sleeve are partially closed by two heat-sealed zones 23, each zone 23 extending from an angle of the sleeve 22, previously flattened.
- the two closed areas 23 are arranged offset relative to each other.
- Each end of the sleeve 22 comprises, in the extension of a closed zone 23, a slot 24 extending to the other angle.
- the cable 3 is engaged in one of the slots 24 at one end of the sleeve and comes out of the latter through the slot 24 provided at the other end of the sleeve, this second slot being adjacent to the opposite corner of the sleeve.
- the pressure created on the cable 3 is sufficient to maintain the sleeve thereon, without requiring heat shrinkage or the presence of an additional fixing device.
- the same elements are designated by the same references as above.
- the heat seal 23 is not produced along a line perpendicular to the axis of the sleeve, but has a triangular shape, with a line 25 located on the side of the interior of the sleeve, forming an angle of approximately 45 ° with the two edges respectively longitudinal and transverse of the sleeve.
- this arrangement prevents the end of the cable 3 from risking, when it is inserted into the sleeve, coming into abutment at an angle thereof.
- the line 25 naturally guides the end of the cable 3 towards the outlet slot 24.
- Figure 9 is a variant in which a slot 26 is formed substantially midway between the two angles of an edge of the sleeve, while the slot 24, associated with the other edge, is adjacent to an angle.
- FIG. 10 represents an alternative embodiment in which the two slots 26, formed in the two ends of the sleeve, are each located at substantially mid-distance between the angles of the ends considered.
- FIG. 11 shows another variant of this device, in which one of the ends of the sleeve is completely open, and the other end is closed by a zone 23 with a slot 24 adjacent to a corner.
- FIG. 12 represents an alternative embodiment of the device according to the invention.
- the sleeve is produced in a film or a sheet of heat-shrinkable material.
- One of the ends of the sleeve is narrowed by blowing hot air between two guides which make it possible to limit the restricted area 27, while keeping the body of the sleeve intact.
- FIG. 13 also represents an alternative embodiment of the device according to the invention.
- the sleeve is produced as before, in a film or a sheet of heat-shrinkable material. Now, the sleeve 22 is narrowed over part of its length.
- the constriction zone 28 is thus no longer located at one of the ends of the sleeve, but at any point taken along the length of the sleeve. Zone 28 is also obtained by blowing hot air between two guides which make it possible to limit its length relative to that of the sleeve, thus keeping the rest of the body of this sleeve intact. The two ends of the sleeve are therefore completely open.
- the invention brings a great improvement to the existing technique, by providing a tracking device of conductive cables, of simple structure, remaining retained on the cable without additional device and without specific fixing operation, for example heat shrinkage, while leaving visible the entire outer surface of the sleeve.
- the invention is not limited to the sole embodiments of this device, described above by way of examples, on the contrary it embraces all variants.
- the material constituting the sleeve could not be synthetic material, but another material such as cardboard, with partial closure of at least one of the ends of the sleeve, for example by gluing, without the it therefore leaves the scope of the invention, or that the closed areas and the slots described could be combined differently without departing from the scope of the invention.
