Abstract:
A method for adhering a tubular body onto a surface that includes smoothing a portion of the surface to create a smoothed segment of the surface and applying a tubular body directly onto the smoothed segment of the surface after the smoothing of the portion of the surface. The surface at the smoothed segment is smoother than the remainder of the surface. The method further includes applying an uncured protectant onto the tubular body while the tubular body is on the smoothed segment of the surface and curing the uncured protectant into a cured protectant while the uncured protectant is on the tubular body on the smoothed segment of the surface. The cured protectant protectively encases and adheres the tubular body to the surface.

Claim (Index 5):
An apparatus for adhering a communication line to a surface, the apparatus comprising:\n a main body moveable in an advancing direction, the main body possessing a forward end and a rear end; a smoothing apparatus connected to the main body, the smoothing apparatus being configured to contact the surface and smooth a linear segment of the surface when the apparatus moves in the advancing direction; a communication line holder configured to deploy the communication line onto the linear segment of the surface, the communication line holder being mounted on the main body, the communication line holder being positioned closer to the rear end of the main body than the communication line holder so that smoothing apparatus contacts the linear segment of the surface to smooth the linear segment of the surface before the communication line is deployed on to the linear segment of the surface; a container configured to store an uncured protectant, the container being mounted on the main body; and a protectant applicator connected to the container and configured to eject the protectant onto the surface, the protectant applicator positioned closer to the rear end of the main body than the communication line holder so that the ejected protectant is applied onto the communication line that has been deployed on the surface.
