ABSTRACT:
A sheath is provided for lacing hooks and the like, and comprises a channel-shaped body having a web with flanges extending along opposite sides of the web. The sheath flanges include outwardly facing apertures in which sharpened points of the hooks are received. The web is readily deformable, so that it can be manually compressed between its opposite sides to converge the apertures, and thereby disengage the hook points received therein. The sheath may then be removed from the hooks by simply pulling the sheath outwardly from inbetween the hook points. The sheath also facilitates manually severing a strip bar-type of lacing hooks to length. The sheath is preferably constructed from a material such as stiff paper materials, cardboard, thin plastic, et cetera, which can be manually cut by a conventional knife edge, like scissors, or a pocket knife. The web covers the hook points from the exterior side of the strip, such that the sheath can be cut, and the opposite ends of the strip grasped firmly in the user's hands, and manually twisted about the welded bar which interconnects adjacent hooks to break the strip to the desired length.
