Attorney, Agent or Firm: Harris, Kern, Wallen & Tinsley
The combination of a flexible, thin-walled plastic tube having thereon an external, electrically conductive, helical bead which is formed of a plastic mixed with a conductive material and which is heat sealed to the plastic of the tube. Electrical conductors are electrically connected to the bead adjacent the ends of the tube. The bead is normally opaque and the tube transparent. However, the tube may also contain a conductive material and be opaque. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim as our invention: 1.
In a flexible, corrugated, electrically conductive, plastic tubing, the combination of: a.
a flexible, thin-walled synthetic organic plastic tube; b.
an electrically conductive, helical bead on and secured to the outer surface of said tube; c.
said bead being a flexible synthetic organic plastic having mixed therewith an electrically conductive particulate material; d.
said bead, and the outer surface of said tube intermediate the convolutions of said bead, constituting the outer surface of said tubing; and e.
the inner surface of said tube constituting the inner surface of said tubing.
2.
A tubing as set forth in claim 1 wherein said bead is heat sealed to the outer surface of said tube.
3.
A tubing as defined in claim 2 wherein said tube is transparent and said bead is opaque.
4.
A tubing as set forth in claim 2 wherein the plastic of said tube also contains an electrically conductive particulate material, but in a smaller proportion than the proportion of electrically conductive particulate material in said bead.
5.
A tubing according to claim 2 wherein said bead is flattened at the ends of the tubing.
6.
The combination set forth in claim 2 including an electrical conductor electrically connected to said bead at one end of the tubing.
7.
The combination defined in claim 6 wherein said conductor is a staple extending through said bead and said tube.
8.
The combination defined in claim 6 wherein said conductor is a clip extending into said bead and said tube.
9.
The combination defined in claim 6 wherein said conductor encloses an end of the tubing.
10.
The combination set forth in claim 9 wherein said conductor is telescoped over a flattened end portion of said bead.
11.
The combination set forth in claim 9 wherein said conductor is threaded on an end portion of said bead.
12.
The combination set forth in claim 2 wherein the conductive material is exposed within at least one end of the tubing.
