The enclosure assembly particularly, but not exclusively, conceived for spliced electric cables, comprises a sleeve (2) of an elastomer material, a support (3) whereover the sleeve (2) is fitted in a state of elastic expansion, said sleeve (2) being adapted to shrink about the elongate cylindrical objects upon removal of the support (3). The support (3) comprises a tubular body (16,17) formed of a strip of a strong flexible material wound into a helix having mutually bonded adjacent turns, the turns being separable by applying a pull force along a substantially longitudinal direction to an end portion of the strip unravelled from the adjacent turns and taken through the interior of the tubular body (16,17) along a substantially axial direction and out through the opposite end of the tubular body. The tubular body (16,17) comprises at least two regions wherein the helix has different pitches, a fine pitch region (30,31) and a coarse pitch region (26,27); a fine pitch region (30,31) is provided at the locations of specified portions of the elongate cylindrical objects for which the enclosure assembly is intended. <IMAGE> |
