COVER FOR SURROUNDING BASE MATERIAL

摘要

A heat recoverable article comprises a fabric cover (2) which has an aperture (4) therein around the edges of which is clamped a rivet (2), fixed so as to prevent pull-out of the fabric fibres on recovery of the cover. The article is particularly suitable for use as a pressurised splice case since a valve can be passed through the aperture in the cover. The valve can be secured directly to the cover, or to a correspondingly apertured liner positioned within the cover.
