ABSTRACT:
A sleeve assembly including a pliable sheet and a coupling strip is provided. The coupling strip is adapted to interconnect the ends of the pliable sheet to form a cylindrically-shaped unit. The ends of the pliable sheet are formed to include flukes that are configured to engage the coupling strip. The coupling strip includes a rigid base member and a spaced-apart, substantially parallel seesaw member. The seesaw member is joined to the base member by a pivot beam. The seesaw member has a first leg and a second leg, with the first and second legs cooperating with the base member to form first and second nests for receiving the flukes of the pliable sheet. The seesaw member is permitted to pivot somewhat with respect to the base member to equalize the capturing forces of the first and second nests to enhance the strength and rigidity of the assembled sleeve assembly.
