Abstract

The protection tube comprises a plurality of woven threads and is characterized in that said threads, which form the protection tube, are expandable monofilament threads. Said expandable monofilament threads are preferably made of plastic material, in particular said monofilament threads are made of polyester or polyamide. Said threads allow for the easier placement of the cables in the interior of the protection tube, as a result of the expandability of the tube, since the threads are of the monofilament, not multifilament type.

Description

TUBO DE PROTECCIÓN  PROTECTION TUBE

La presente invención se refiere a un tubo de protección, especialmente diseñado para la protección de cables de automóviles. The present invention relates to a protection tube, specially designed for the protection of automobile cables.

ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

En la industria del automóvil los cables de los automóviles se recubren con tubos de protección textiles. Estos tubos de protección deben presentar unas características de protección térmica y mecánica. In the automobile industry, automobile cables are covered with textile protection tubes. These protection tubes must have thermal and mechanical protection characteristics.

Habitualmente, estos tubos de protección están formados a partir de una pluralidad de hilos tejidos entre si de diferentes materiales y características, en función de su aplicación particular. Además, si es necesario, estos tubos de protección pueden estar recubiertos de algún material que proporcione alguna mejora a sus características .  Usually, these protection tubes are formed from a plurality of interwoven threads of different materials and characteristics, depending on their particular application. In addition, if necessary, these protection tubes may be coated with some material that provides some improvement to their characteristics.

Habitualmente, los hilos que forman el tubo de protección son de tipo multifilamento, es decir, cada hilo está formado a su vez de una pluralidad de filamentos.  Usually, the threads that form the protection tube are of the multifilament type, that is, each thread is in turn formed from a plurality of filaments.

Un inconveniente de estos tubos de protección conocidos es su capacidad de expansión, que es una característica importante de estos tubos en el momento de montaje de los cables en su interior.  A drawback of these known protection tubes is their expandability, which is an important feature of these tubes at the time of mounting the cables inside.

Otro inconveniente de los tubos de protección conocidos actualmente es que cuando éstos se cortan se pueden deshilachar sus extremos.  Another drawback of the currently known protection tubes is that when they are cut, their ends can be frayed.

DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Con el tubo de protección de la invención se consiguen resolver los inconvenientes citados, presentando otras ventajas que se describirán. El tubo de protección de la presente invención comprende una pluralidad de hilos tejidos entre si, y se caracteriza por el hecho de que dichos hilos que forman el tubo de protección son hilos monofilamento expansibles. With the protection tube of the invention, the aforementioned drawbacks are resolved, presenting other advantages that will be described. The protection tube of the present invention comprises a plurality of woven threads, and is characterized by the fact that said threads that form the protection tube are expandable monofilament threads.

Gracias a esta característica, la colocación de los cables en el interior del tubo de protección es más fácil, gracias a la capacidad de expansión del tubo, debido a que los hilos no son de tipo multifilamento, sino monofilamento .  Thanks to this feature, the placement of the cables inside the protection tube is easier, thanks to the expandability of the tube, because the wires are not multifilament, but monofilament.

Ventajosamente, dichos hilos monofilamento son de material plástico, en particular, son de poliéster o poliamida .  Advantageously, said monofilament threads are made of plastic material, in particular they are made of polyester or polyamide.

Según una realización preferida, cada hilo monofilamento tiene un diámetro comprendido entre 0,10 y 0,50 mm.  According to a preferred embodiment, each monofilament thread has a diameter between 0.10 and 0.50 mm.

Ventajosamente, dicho tubo de protección también comprende un recubrimiento externo de silicona.  Advantageously, said protection tube also comprises an external silicone coating.

Para evitar el deshilachado de los extremos de tubo de protección de la presente invención, los hilos en los extremos del tubo están soldados entre si mediante corte mecánico y en caliente.  To prevent fraying of the ends of the protection tube of the present invention, the threads at the ends of the tube are welded together by mechanical and hot cutting.

DESCRIPCIÓN DE UNA REALIZACIÓN PREFERIDA El tubo de protección de la presente invención está formado por una pluralidad de hilos monofilamento expansibles tejidos entre si. DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The protection tube of the present invention is formed by a plurality of expandable monofilament yarns woven together.

Debe indicarse que mediante hilo monofilamento se indica que cada hilo está formado únicamente por su solo filamento, a diferencia de los hilos multifilamentos, que están formados por una pluralidad de filamentos.  It should be noted that by monofilament thread it is indicated that each thread is formed solely by its single filament, unlike multifilament threads, which are formed by a plurality of filaments.

Cada hilo monofilamento del tubo de protección de la presente invención es de material plástico, preferentemente poliéster o poliamida, y tiene un diámetro comprendido entre 0,10 y 0,50 mm. Además, el tubo de protección de la presente invención también comprende un recubrimiento de silicona. Each monofilament thread of the protection tube of the present invention is made of plastic material, preferably polyester or polyamide, and has a diameter between 0.10 and 0.50 mm. In addition, the protection tube of the present invention also comprises a silicone coating.

Los hilos de los extremos del tubo de protección de la presente invención están soldados entre si para evitar que el tubo se deshilache. Esta soldadura se realiza mediante corte mecánico y en caliente.  The threads of the ends of the protection tube of the present invention are welded together to prevent the tube from fraying. This welding is done by mechanical and hot cutting.

A pesar de que se ha hecho referencia a una realización concreta de la invención, es evidente para un experto en la materia que el tubo de protección y el procedimiento descritos son susceptibles de numerosas variaciones y modificaciones, y que todos los detalles mencionados pueden ser substituidos por otros técnicamente equivalentes, sin apartarse del ámbito de protección definido por las reivindicaciones adjuntas.  Although reference has been made to a specific embodiment of the invention, it is apparent to one skilled in the art that the protection tube and the process described are susceptible of numerous variations and modifications, and that all the mentioned details can be substituted. by others technically equivalent, without departing from the scope of protection defined by the appended claims.
