ABSTRACT:
A re-enterable enclosure, or enclosure kit, for use with a cable splice, or the like, including, among other elements, a longitudinally split tubular member which is sufficiently flexible and resilient that the edges of the slit thereof may be spread to permit lateral application of the tubular member over a cable splice, or the like, the tubular member having external radial locking ribs respectively extending longitudinally among the edges of the slit therein, and a locking strip of generally H-shaped cross section including two outer flanges and two inner flanges interconnected lengthwise thereof at their respective junctions by a web, the outer flanges respectively having internal longitudinal grooves therein adapted to receive the external locking ribs on the tubular member to prevent spreading of the edges of the slit in the tubular member, the web of the locking strip being insertable longitudinally into the slit in the tubular member from one end of the tubular member with the outer flanges engaging the outer surface of the tubular member on opposite sides of the slit, with the grooves in the outer flanges respectively receiving the locking ribs, and with the inner flanges respectively engaging the inner surface of the tubular member on opposite sides of the slit therein, and the locking strip being materially more flexible than the tubular member so that the inner flanges of the locking strip can be pulled laterally outwardly through the slit in the tubular member with minimum distortion of the tubular member whenever it is desired to remove the locking strip subsequent to longitudinal insertion thereof.
