DEVICE FOR ENCLOSING ELONGATE OBJECTS

摘要

A device for enclosing elongate objects comprises a dimensionally-recoverable cover which can be wrapped-around the object and closed by means of closure elements located on the cover. The closure elements are preferably in the form of a row of protuberances spaced apart along the edge portions of the cover the protuberances of one edge portion being nestable within the protuberances of the other edge portion. The protuberances are preferably provided with retaining elements which lock the nested protuberances together and will accommodate relative movement between adjacent pairs of nested protuberances to allow the device to be recovered onto objects of varying dimensions.
