Heretofore, it has been
customary to provide markings formed of cellophane strips adhesively attached
to the tubing of such an installation. A standard color code or system of
markings has been established which makes each tube or article so marked readily
identifiable for servicing as long as the color combination remains attached
thereto and discernible. The present invention provides an identification Clear Plastic Sleeve
or band for bonded installation around an article characterized by being formed
of plastic material in which strips of different colors are molded into a
unitary structure and formed as an inexpensive ring, including a method of
application.
However, it has been found
that markings so attached by adhesive are quickly affected by the diluent
effect of the afore described foreign substances to which the markings are
subjected. The result is that the adhesive is soon ineffective so as to allow
the marking to become loose and thereafter become lost. equipment creates a
severe service problem for it is very difficult for anyone to trace the line
involved, causing considerable lost time in the servicing of equipment, as well
as the danger of a severe accident in case of mistaken identity between tubes
carrying different materials at different pressures.
It is therefore one of the
principal objects of this invention to provide an improved identification
sleeve for colored marking of various articles. Another object is to provide an
identification sleeve highly resistant to adverse service conditions. Loss of a
marking from such- Still another object is to provide a multi-colored
identification sleeve that can be readily installed around a circular object as
a manufacturing or maintenance operation.
