Abstract
A braided metal sheath 11 is anchored on an ignition wire 10 to protectively encase wire 10 and leave the sheath ends 14 spaced at an electrically insulating distance from terminal end regions 9 of wire 10 to prevent shorting out the ignition wire. The anchorage can be made by sliding a shorter length of a separate sheath onto a longer length of ignition wire 10, winding a wrapper 13 over each of the sheath ends 14, and then clamping with a radially compressible clamp that fits over and conceals wrapper 13. The sheathing can also be braided directly onto a continuous length of ignition wire 10 that is cut to individual wire lengths. Then end regions of the sheathing are cut and stripped from the ignition wire to leave sheath ends 14 at an electrically insulating distance from terminal ends 9 of wire 10. Sheath ends 14 are then clamped to wire 10 to conceal the sheath ends and prevent fraying.
