ABSTRACT:
A unitary, thermo-formed synthetic resin packing element (10) is provided which is adapted to fit over the ends of a pair of fluorescent tubes (50, 52). The element (10) includes a pair of elongated, juxtaposed, interconnected tubular members (16, 18) each having a closed end (20, 22) and a series of axially extending, deformable, concavo-convex ribs (34, 36). The central axes (46, 48) of the tubular members (16, 18) are preferably non-parallel prior to fitting of the tubular members (16, 18) over the ends of the fluorescent tubes (50, 52); this assists in maintaining the element (10) in place and increases the overall integrity of the final two fluorescent tube package (66).
