SYSTEM AND METHOD OF FORMING A PROTECTIVE COVERING FOR A WIRE HARNESS
First Claim
1. A system that forms a wire harness covering according to a predetermined three-dimensional geometry, comprising:
- a wire harness;
an injection mold that includes two mold halves that define a cavity therebetween and that is substantially flat in shape that forms a partially-cured wire harness covering having an intermediate, substantially two-dimensional shape; and
a post-molding fixture that orients the partially-cured wire harness covering in accordance with the predetermined three-dimensional geometry,wherein the partially-cured wire harness covering is positioned in the post-molding fixture within a first predetermined time after forming the partially-cured wire harness covering.

Abstract
A motion-powered liquid sprayer that can increase the number of rotations of the pump relative to each rotation of the wheel or axle is provided. The sprayer can include a gearing assembly that employs gears to increase the number of pump revolutions as a function of the wheel or axle rotation. The sprayer can also include a gear pump that employs an over-capacity or enhanced gullet together with blow-by spacing to control consistent liquid flow relative to variable motional velocities. Further, the sprayer can include a vertically adjustable nozzle as well as a free reverse rotation wheel hub.

12. A system that forms a wire harness, comprising:
-
a first mold portion and a second mold portion that define a cavity therebetween, each of the first mold portion and second mold portion is substantially flat in shape for forming a partially-cured wire harness covering having a substantially two-dimensional shape; and a post-molding fixture that orients the partially-cured wire harness covering in accordance with a predetermined three-dimensional geometry. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system of forming a three-dimensional wire harness, comprising:
-
a two piece mold that defines a cavity therebetween, wherein a combination of a polyol and an isocyanate facilitate a reaction injection molding (RIM) process to form a partially-cured wire harness covering having an intermediate shape; and a means for post-molding that orients the partially-cured wire harness covering from the intermediate shape into a predetermined three-dimensional configuration. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
