Appeal No. 1997-2942
Application 08/281,958
The disclosed invention comprises a flexible,
stretchable, compressible, twistable material and has a
tubular section with grommets, one at each end. The tubular
section has a uniform wall thickness and is formed with an
integral, radially outwardly projecting, screw-like helical
formation extending substantially throughout its full length.
This construction enables the conduit to be twisted without
kinking or buckling. The invention is further illustrated
by the following claim.
12. The method of mounting an open-ended conduit for an
electrical harness between a first panel having a first
opening therein of predetermined size and shape and a second
panel laterally spaced from said first panel and having a
second opening therein of predetermined size and shape,
comprising the steps of:
(a) providing an open-ended conduit for an electrical
harness in the shape of an elongated tubular section having
opposite ends and made of a flexible, stretchable,
compressible, twistable material having a first integral
grommet at one end of said tubular section of the same size
and shape as said first opening and a second integral grommet
at the opposite end of said tubular section of the same size
and shape as said second opening, said second opening and said
second grommet being non-circular, said tubular section being
of uniform wall thickness and formed with an integral,
radially outwardly projecting screw-like, helical formation
extending throughout substantially the full length thereof;
(b) fitting said first grommet in said first opening;
