Abstract:
1. A segmented insulative device comprising: a first layer and a second layer each formed from a flexible material, said flexible material being resistant to heat; an inner layer of flexible insulation held between said first and second layers by way of stitching, said stitching forming a cut-site for separating said segmented insulative device into multiple sections; one or more fastening mechanisms connected to one of said first layer or said second layer, said one or more fastening mechanisms for securing one or more of said multiple sections to a component of a thermal distribution system; said first layer, said inner layer, and said second layer form a flexible composite through which said layers said stitching is arranged in a grid pattern formed by groupings of closely spaced parallel seams; said flexible material that forms said first layer and said second layer is a heat resistant fabric and at least one of said first layer and second layer is coated with a moisture and heat resistant coating; and each said one or more fastening mechanisms is affixed to a corresponding one of each said one or more multiple sections and sized in such a manner so as to allow said one or more fastening mechanisms to wrap around said corresponding one of each said one or more multiple sections while in place over said component of said thermal distribution system.
