Abstract
Abstract A carrier having substantially flat projections which extend from the carrier to snugly and slidably bear heat recovered sleeves thereby conforming to the flattened configuration of the projections. After positioning generally tubular heat recoverable sleeves over the projections and partial recovery of the same, printed information may be easily imparted to the sleeves on a modified typewriter or the like. The sleeves may then be removed from the projections and employed as identifying markers for electrical wire or other like articles to be marked. The sleeves may be further heat recovered in position on the marked article to snugly fit thereon.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
77 words
An assembly comprising a carrier, said carrier including a base and projections extending from said base; and a plurality of tubular sleeves, said sleeves being snugly and slidably disposed over said projections so as to admit of removal of said projections when drawn past the ends thereof, said sleeves being of heat recoverable material and dimensionally unstable on said projections such that said sleeves are heat recoverable to a lesser transverse dimension when removed from said projection.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
77 words
An assembly comprising a carrier, said carrier including a base and projections extending from said base; and a plurality of tubular sleeves, said sleeves being snugly and slidably disposed over said projections so as to admit of removal of said projections when drawn past the ends thereof, said sleeves being of heat recoverable material and dimensionally unstable on said projections such that said sleeves are heat recoverable to a lesser transverse dimension when removed from said projection.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
63 words
An assembly according to claim 1 wherein said base is an elongated flexible member and said projections extend transversely from at least one side of said base in a train of substantially parallel tines spaced one apart from the other, said base admitting of flexure so as to diminish the distance between opposite ends thereof while retaining said projections in mutually parallel orientation.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
An assembly according to claim 1 wherein said projections are arcuate about an axis of curvature oriented parallel to the direction of said projections.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The assembly according to claim 3 wherein said arcuate projections define a radius of curvature substantially equal to the radius of curvature of a typewriter platen.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
97 words
An assembly comprising a carrier, said carrier including a flexible, elongated base and projections extending from one side of said base, said base admitting of flexure so as to diminish the distance between opposite ends thereof while retaining said projections in mutually parallel orientation, said projections being arcuate about an axis of curvature oriented parallel to the direction of said projections; and a plurality of tubular sleeves, each of said sleeves being snugly and slidably disposed over one of said arcuate projections so as to admit of removal from said projections when drawn past the ends thereof.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
97 words
An assembly comprising a carrier, said carrier including a flexible, elongated base and projections extending from one side of said base, said base admitting of flexure so as to diminish the distance between opposite ends thereof while retaining said projections in mutually parallel orientation, said projections being arcuate about an axis of curvature oriented parallel to the direction of said projections; and a plurality of tubular sleeves, each of said sleeves being snugly and slidably disposed over one of said arcuate projections so as to admit of removal from said projections when drawn past the ends thereof.
