ABSTRACT:
A braided sleeve device having a tubular body that is symmetrically disposed around an imaginary longitudinal axis. The tubular body has a first end, a second end and a flange transition point that is located proximate the second end. The tubular body is comprised of interwoven strands that extend from the first end to the second end. The tubular body has a first diameter from the first end to the flange transition point. The tubular body also has a diameter that increases in size from the flange transition point to the second end, therein forming a flare. The flare causes the interwoven stands of the braided sleeve to be reoriented into a perpendicular with the longitudinal axis. A reinforcement ring is bonded to the braided sleeve proximate its second end. The reinforcement ring retains the flare in the configuration of the braided sleeve.
