Patent ID: 8455080

Claim:
An elongate protective sleeve extending along a longitudinal axis for covering an elongate wire harness comprising: an outer layer of a woven fabric extending a first length along said longitudinal axis and extending a first width transverse to said longitudinal axis between first opposite edges, said outer layer having an inwardly-facing surface and outwardly-facing surface; an adhesive layer applied over said inwardly-facing surface of said outer layer; and an inner layer of non-woven fabric extending a second length along said longitudinal axis and extending a second width transverse to said longitudinal axis between second opposite edges, said second width being less than said first width, said inner layer having an outwardly-facing surface adhered to said adhesive layer wherein said inner layer is centered widthwise on said outer layer such that said second opposite edges are spaced substantially equally from said first opposite edges to provide two portions of said adhesive layer that extend exposed between said first and second opposite edges and extend along said first length on opposite sides of said second opposite edges.
