ABSTRACT:
The enclosure assembly particularly, but not exclusively, conceived for spliced electric cables, comprises a sleeve of an elastomer material, a support whereover the sleeve is fitted in a state of elastic expansion, said sleeve being adapted to shrink about the elongate cylindrical objects upon removal of the support. The support comprises a tubular body formed of a strip of a strong flexible material wound into a helix having mutually bonded adjacent turns, the turns being separable by applying a pull force along a substantially longitudinal direction to an end portion of the strip unravelled from the adjacent turns and taken through the interior of the tubular body along a substantially axial direction and out through the opposite end of the tubular body. The tubular body comprises at least two regions wherein the helix has different pitches, a fine pitch region and a coarse pitch region; a fine pitch region is provided at the locations of specified portions of the elongate cylindrical objects for which the enclosure assembly is intended.
