<p>A protective wrap (11) comprises a sheet of resilient plastics material, formed as a web of interconnected bands (12), defining a plurality of hexagonal holes (13). The wrap (11), is a generally rectangular sheet with one dimension approximately equal to the outside diameter of an elongated pipe. Edges, (14 and 15) are each provided with a plurality of terminal portions (16 and 17) respectively. The terminal portions (16) on a first edge (14) each carry a pair of tongues (18) spaced by a gap (19) while the terminal portions (17) on the second edge (15) each carry a single tongue (21) having a width allowing a close fit within the respective gaps (19) between respective pairs of tongues (18) on the first edge (14). The tongues (18, 21) are each provided with a holes (22, 23) oriented with their axes parallel to the edge (14, 15) and the holes (22) are aligned on common axes. A chord, pin or rod (25) is inserted through all of the holes to fasten the wrap around the pipe.</p> |
