US12687365 - Heat protective sleeve

A heat protective sleeve includes a body being a sleeve extending along a longitudinal direction, and comprising a triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) structure between an inner diameter of the body and an outer diameter of the body. The TPMS structure has open spaces in communication with ambient air at the outer diameter of the body, and the inner diameter of the body is configured to contact a surface adjacent to the inner diameter. A strip extends along the longitudinal direction on a portion of the body. The strip is a same material as the TPMS structure, and the material of the strip is solid and without holes through it.

The heat protective sleeve features a triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) structure that allows for airflow while providing insulation over an underlying object. Additionally, it includes a solid strip made of the same material as the TPMS structure, extending along the sleeve’s length for enhanced protection.

Claim 1

1 . A heat protective sleeve comprising: a body being a sleeve extending along a longitudinal direction, the body having an inner diameter and an outer diameter and defining a central opening bounded by the inner diameter, and comprising a triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) structure between the inner diameter and the outer diameter, the TPMS structure having open spaces in communication with ambient air at the outer diameter, the inner diameter configured to be positioned over an exterior surface of an underlying object adjacent to the inner diameter; and a strip extending axially along the longitudinal direction of the body, the strip being a same material as the TPMS structure, being solid and without holes, and having a width in a circumferential direction of the body that is equal or greater than a radius of the inner diameter. a body being a sleeve extending along a longitudinal direction, the body having an inner diameter and an outer diameter and defining a central opening bounded by the inner diameter, and comprising a triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) structure between the inner diameter and the outer diameter, the TPMS structure having open spaces in communication with ambient air at the outer diameter, the inner diameter configured to be positioned over an exterior surface of an underlying object adjacent to the inner diameter; and a strip extending axially along the longitudinal direction of the body, the strip being a same material as the TPMS structure, being solid and without holes, and having a width in a circumferential direction of the body that is equal or greater than a radius of the inner diameter.
