Definitions
- the present invention relates to an arrangement for marking wires or pipes, in particular electric wires, in the form of an annular or sleeve-shaped body manufactured in one piece and made of an elastic material, preferably plastic, which body is intended to bear one or more marking symbols and comprises a yoke- shaped outer part with two outer legs which serve as side walls and, at their lower ends, merge with an inner yoke-shaped part, which extends up between the legs, with two inner legs and a web portion joining the upper ends of these together, which portion, together with the surrounding yoke-shaped outer part, delimits a tunnel-shaped passage for a wire or a pipe which is to be marked.
- marking sleeves have long been used for marking in particular electric wires and cables, but are also used for marking pneumatic and hydraulic pipes.
- the inner yoke-shaped part By virtue of the inner yoke-shaped part, the web portion of which forms a support for a wire which is guided through the marking sleeve, a number of bellows- like folds are formed, which afford an expansion possibility for the sleeve.
- One and the same marking sleeve can then be used for wires of diameters which vary within a given range. It is therefore possible to cover a diameter range from roughly 1 mm to roughly 16 mm by using marking sleeves of four standard sizes.
- the marking sleeves can either be made in the form of relatively small rings, each intended to bear a marking symbol, a number of rings then being positioned next to one another on a wire so as to bring about a sequence of a number of marking symbols, or alternatively the marking sleeve can be made of greater length, in which case one and the same sleeve can bear a sequence of marking symbols.
- the marking symbols can either be printed directly onto the upper part of the sleeve, which part connects the upper edges of the outer legs of the sleeve, or alternatively be printed on separate labels which are inserted into an upper, longitudinal pocket of the sleeve.
- the sleeves are suitably manufactured by extrusion of a relatively soft plastic material.
- Marking sleeves of the type indicated above which are each to be capable of being used on wires of different diameters, should have two characteristics, which can be difficult to combine.
- the first characteristic is that the sleeves, after they have been threaded onto a wire from one of its ends, are to be secured in the desired position without risk that they will rotate on the wire or be displaced along it, which requires good friction.
- the second characteristic, which is difficult to combine with the first is that the sleeves are to be easy to thread onto a wire, that is to say the friction between the sleeve and the wire is to be as low as possible during threading-on. This applies particularly in the case of longer sleeves.
- One main object of the present invention is to produce a marking sleeve of the type described above, which retains the capacity of previous sleeves for being secured in the desired position on a wire but which is easier to thread onto the wire than those previously known .
- the invention is based on the insight that this can be achieved by virtue of the fact that the marking sleeve is made with weakened portions which serve as hinges and facilitate deformation of the sleeve during threading onto a wire but do not appreciably affect the grip on the wire, when the sleeve has taken up the desired position on the wire.
- the particularly characteristic feature of an arrangement of the type indicated in the first paragraph is then that the outer surface of each of the outer legs is made with at least one longitudinal groove, and that the mutually facing surfaces of each of the inner legs are made with at least one longitudinal groove, which grooves form deformation indications which facilitate deformation of the annular or sleeve-shaped body, when a wire or a pipe is guided through the tunnel-shaped passage.
- each outer and inner leg is suitably made with a longitudinal groove on the outside of the rounded portion.
- a groove is preferably also arranged on each side of the rounded portion essentially at the transition between this and the respective leg.
- each of the outer legs is moreover provided with a longitudinal groove essentially in the middle of the leg and a longitudinal groove along the upper edge of the leg, and the mutually facing surfaces of the inner legs are each provided with a longitudinal groove along the upper edge of the respective leg.
- Figs 1 and 2 show two embodiments of a marking sleeve according to the invention.
- Fig. 3 is an end view of the marking sleeve according to Fig. 1 during its threading onto a wire.
- Figs 1 and 2 show two examples of marking sleeves, the general shape of which is previously known. They are extruded in a relatively soft plastic material and each comprise a yoke-shaped part with two side walls 1, 2, which are joined together at their upper ends via a web portion 3. At their lower ends, the outer legs merge with an inner yoke-shaped part, which extends up between the legs, with two inner legs 4, 5 and a web portion 6 joining the upper ends of these together.
- This portion together with the surrounding yoke-shaped outer part, forms a tunnel-shaped passage of a height H for a wire onto which the sleeve is to be threaded.
- the web portion 6 forms a bottom support for the wire.
- the sleeve according to Fig. 1 is made with a longitudinal pocket 7 which extends above the web portion 3 and is intended to receive a marking label 8 provided with the desired marking symbols.
- the marking symbols are intended to be printed directly onto the web portion 3.
- Marking sleeves according to Figs 1 and 2 can be used for wires of diameters lying within a given range, the inner yoke-shaped part forming a number of expansion folds of the profile. These allow the web portion 6 to be pressed downward by a wire end of a diameter greater than the height H of the passage through the marking sleeve. The outer legs 1 and 2 of the sleeve will then be pressed outward by the wire end.
- a sleeve according to the invention is, as illustrated in Figs 1 and 2 , made with a number of longitudinal grooves which form deformation indications which facilitate deformation of the sleeve in connection with threading onto a wire.
- Figs 1 and 2 show an embodiment which is preferred according to the invention, in which the outer legs 1 and 2 are each provided with three longitudinal grooves 9, 10 and 11, of which the groove 10 runs essentially along a center line of each leg, while the other two grooves 9 and 11 run along the upper and, respectively, lower edge of each leg.
- the outer legs 1 and 2 merge with respective inner legs 4, 5 via rounded portions 12, 13 which each have a longitudinal groove 14 along their lower part.
- the inner legs 4, 5 are each provided with two grooves on the mutually facing surfaces, which grooves run along the upper and, respectively, lower edge of each leg.
- Fig. 3 shows a marking sleeve according to Fig. 1 during threading onto a wire 17 of a diameter which is considerably greater than the height H of the passage through the sleeve.
- the inner yoke-shaped part with its web portion 6, which serves as a support surface for the wire has been pressed downward while the outer legs 1, 2 of the sleeve have been bent out.
- this deformation of the sleeve is simplified, and a shape well adapted to the wire 17 is obtained in the deformed state as well.
- Even a wire of the diameter shown can therefore be pushed through the marking sleeve relatively easily, at the same time as the sleeve will be secured firmly on the wire after it has been guided into the desired position.
- the embodiment shown comprises a number of grooves in the various legs. An appreciable effect can nevertheless already be obtained with a smaller number of grooves. It is therefore possible to make use of a groove which runs essentially centrally on each leg and is suitably complemented by a groove in each of the rounded portions which interconnect the respective pairs of legs.
- each outer and inner leg (1, 2; 4, 5) is rounded, and in that a longitudinal groove (14) runs on the outer surface of this rounding.
- each of the outer legs (1, 2) is moreover provided with a longitudinal groove (10) essentially in the middle of the leg and a longitudinal groove (9) along the upper edge of the leg, and in that the mutually facing surfaces of each of the inner legs
