ADJUSTABLE PROTECTING SLEEVE AND FASTENER THEREFOR

摘要

An adjustable width split sleeve (13) adapted to be securely wrapped around an elongate member (15). Each end of the sheet is wrapped around a respective first rod. Each first rod is rotated about a second which is parallel and adjacent to the first rod but which is separate from the first rod by the sheet (14). The first and second rods may be positioned various distances from the edges of the sheet to provide a tongue (37) to seal the gap between the sheet ends (15). Each end of the sheet (14) is securely gripped between the respective first and second rods. A fastener (11) is also disclosed for securing the protective sleeve (13) around an elongate member (15). The fastener (11) includes clips having a chamber and an entryway adapted to receive and retain the end (27, 33) of the protective sleeve (13).
