Abstract

A insulating wrap includes a flexible elongate body of insulating material adapted to be wrapped in a helical fashion around an object, such as a pipe. The body has a first end and a second end. A first tie strap is secured by a first fastener to the first end of the body to facilitate the body being secured to the pipe. A second tie strap is secured by a second fastener to the second end of the body to facilitate the body being secured to the pipe.

Claims

1. Insulating wrap, comprising:

a flexible elongate body of insulating material adapted to be wrapped in a helical fashion around an object, the body having a first end and a second end;

a first tie strap secured by first fastening means to the first end of the body to facilitate the body being secured to the object; and

a second tie strap secured by second fastening means to the second end of the body to facilitate the body being secured to the object.

2. The insulating wrap as defined in claim 1, wherein at least one of the first fastening means or the second fastening means accommodating relative rotational movement between one of the first tie strap or the second tie strap and the body, thereby allowing the angle of one of the first tie strap or the second tie strap relative to the body to be angularly adjusted.

3. Insulating wrap, comprising:

a flexible elongate body of insulating material adapted to be wrapped in a helical fashion around an object, the body having a first end and a second end;

a first tie strap immovably affixed by first fastening means to the first end of the body to facilitate the body being secured to the object; and

a second tie strap immovably affixed by second fastening means to the second end of the body to facilitate the body being secured to the object.

4. Insulating wrap, comprising:

a flexible elongate body of insulating material adapted to be wrapped in a helical fashion around an object, the body having a first end and a second end;

a first tie strap secured by a first fastener to the first end of the body to facilitate the body being secured to the object, the first fastener accommodating relative rotational movement between the first tie strap and the body, thereby allowing the angle of the first tie strap relative to the body to be angularly adjusted; and

a second tie strap secured by a second fastener to the second end of the body to facilitate the body being secured to the object, the second fastener accommodating relative rotational movement between the second tie strap and the body, thereby allowing the angle of the second tie strap relative to the body to be angularly adjusted.
