A recoverable article includes an inner resilient radially elastomeric tubular member 2 that is held in its expanded configuration by an outer relatively rigid shell 6. The interface between the member 2 and the shell 6 comprises a plurality of circumferentially-spaced parallel strips 4 coated onto the member 2. The strips 4 prevent the shell 6 from bonding to the member 2 in those regions. The shell 6 is castellated with its valleys 12 adjacent the edges of the strips 4. The lands 8 of the castellated shell 6 overlying the strips 4 can be peeled back to permit the resilient member 2 to recover towards its original configuration, for example around a power cable splice. |
