ABSTRACT:
A wraparound device to be manipulated into tubular form and adapted to be placed in encircling relation about a member, comprises a lightweight panel construction having opposite margins which are joined when the panel is in tubular form. A locking tongue structure on one margin of the panel is adapted to be received in a locking socket structure on the other of the panel margins for retaining the panel in tubular form. The device is adapted to be made from an extruded, stamped or thermoformed thin self-sustaining resiliently flexible plastic sheet material and is constructed to be adaptable for a wide range of diametrical tube form dimensions. For snug gripping of wrapped members and to accommodate minor diameter differences the device is at least partially expansile circumferentially in the tubular form. The device is adapted to serve as a decorative and/or insulating wrap.
