Toneable Conduit And Method Of Preparing Same

US Patent:
2006021, Sep 21, 2006
Filed:
May 22, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/438654
Inventors:
Jason Morrow - Taylorsville NC, US
Robert Ward - Hickory NC, US
Zeb Kale - Hiddenite NC, US
Michael Bailey - Statesville NC, US
Christopher Gemme - Hickory NC, US
George Bollinger - Claremont NC, US
Scott Lumley - Taylorsville NC, US
International Classification:
B29C 47/00, B32B 1/08
US Classification:
428036900
Abstract:
The invention is a toneable conduit that can transmit a signal and be readily detected by toning equipment. The conduit can be coupled with other conduit to provide extended lengths of conduit. The toneable conduit includes an elongate polymeric tube having a wall with an interior surface, an exterior surface, and a predetermined wall thickness. A channel preferably extends longitudinally within the wall of the elongate polymeric tube; a stabilizing rib extends longitudinally along the interior surface of the wall of the elongate polymeric tube and is located radially inward from the channel. A continuous wire is coincident with the channel in the elongate polymeric tube and preferably coated with a composition that prevents it from adhering to the polymer melt that forms the elongate polymeric tube. The present invention includes methods of making the toneable conduit and methods of coupling a first toneable conduit with a second toneable conduit.

Toneable Conduit And Method Of Preparing Same

US Patent:
2004026, Dec 30, 2004
Filed:
Apr 23, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/830754
Inventors:
Jason Morrow - Taylorsville NC, US

Assignee:
CommScope Properties, LLC
International Classification:
H02G003/04
US Classification:
174/048000
Abstract:
The present invention is a toneable conduit that can transmit a signal and that can therefore be readily detected by toning equipment. In addition, the conduit of the invention can be readily coupled with other conduit to provide extended lengths of conduit. The toneable conduit includes an elongate polymeric tube having a wall with an interior surface, an exterior surface, and a predetermined wall thickness. A channel preferably extends longitudinally within the wall of the elongate polymeric tube and a stabilizing rib extends longitudinally along the interior surface of the wall of the elongate polymeric tube and is located radially inward from the channel. A continuous wire is coincident with the channel in the elongate polymeric tube and is preferably coated with a coating composition that prevents the wire from adhering to the polymer melt used to form the elongate polymeric tube. The present invention further includes methods of making the toneable conduit and methods of coupling a first toneable conduit with a second toneable conduit.

Filed:
Nov 20, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/989289
Inventors:
Jason Morrow - Taylorsville CA, US
Robert Ward - Hickory NC, US
Zeb Kale - Hiddenite NC, US
Michael Bailey - Statesville NC, US
Assignee:
CommScope Properties, LLC - Sparks NV
International Classification:
H02G003/04
US Classification:
174/048000
Abstract:
The present invention is a toneable conduit that can transmit a signal and that can therefore be readily detected by toning equipment. In addition, the conduit of the invention can be readily coupled with other conduit to provide extended lengths of conduit. The toneable conduit includes an elongate polymeric tube having a wall with an interior surface, an exterior surface, and a predetermined wall thickness. A channel extends longitudinally within the wall of the elongate polymeric tube and a stabilizing rib extends longitudinally along the interior surface of the wall of the elongate polymeric tube and is located radially inward from the channel. A continuous, coated, high elongation wire is coincident with the channel in the elongate polymeric tube and is coated with a coating composition that prevents the wire from adhering to the polymer melt used to form the elongate polymeric tube. The present invention further includes methods of making the toneable conduit and methods of coupling a first toneable conduit with a second toneable conduit.
