Patent

CA 2459090

A flexible carrier (10, 30, 40) for supporting and protecting elongated items (16) such as optical fibers is disclosed. The carrier (10, 30, 40) is formed from a substrate (12, 24, 42) of interlaced filamentary members which may be woven, knitted or braided together. The elongated items (16) are interlaced with or otherwise captured by the substrate (12, 24, 42) during its manufacture. Various configurations of the substrate such a flat, pleated and tubular are feasible. Capture of the elongated members may be effected by integrally woven tubes formed within the substrate, by interweaving the items as warp yarns in a woven substrate or by laying in of the items in a knitted substrate.

La présente invention se rapporte à un support souple (10, 30, 40) conçu pour supporter et protéger des articles oblongs (16) tels que des fibres optiques. Ce support (10, 30, 40) est constitué d'un substrat (12, 24, 42) composé d'éléments filiformes entrelacés qui peuvent être tissés, tricotés ou tressés les uns avec les autres. Ces articles oblongs (16) sont entrelacés avec le substrat (12, 24, 42) ou emprisonnés d'une manière ou d'une autre dans ce dernier au cours de sa fabrication. Le substrat peut se présenter sous diverses configurations telles qu'une configuration plate, une configuration plissée et une configuration tubulaire. L'emprisonnement des éléments oblongs peut être effectué par intégration de tubes tissés dans le substrat, entrelacement desdits éléments jouant le rôle de fils de chaîne dans un substrat tissé ou intégration de ces éléments dans un substrat tricoté.
