Abstract
A flexible conduit or sleeve sized for surrounding and supporting a movable wire rope includes an inner core having an opening for receiving the movable wire rope, a plurality of wires disposed about the inner core, and an outer sleeve. The outer sleeve is made from a polymer material having a flame retardant additive that provides sufficient flexibility while also improving manufacturability for use in various applications, such as part of an aircraft seat adjustment mechanism.
