ARTICLE AND METHOD FOR BONDING TO AN ELONGATE OBJECT

摘要

A wraparound polymer-laminated fabric sleeve (2) that is heat-recoverable at least in part is provided with electrical heating means (8, 10, 12) along one longitudinal edge and both annular ends of the wrapped sleeve. Electrical current is passed through the heating means (8, 10, 12) to recover at least part of the sleeve and to bond it to an underlying substrate.
