ABSTRACT:
A sleeve head for closing an end of a cable sleeve, which sleeve head being a one piece member of a shrinkable material having a transverse wall with an integral outer wall portion and having at least one flange surrounding an opening so that a cable can be sealingly received in the head by shrinking the flange from an expanded state towards a normal state into sealing engagement on the cable, characterized by each of the flanges in the expanded state being expanded only in a radial direction and having substantially no deformation and stresses along the axial direction of the opening and the transverse wall adjacent each of the expanded flanges being folded outwardly to compensate for the expansion of the size of the flange so that during heat shrinking the flange shrinks radially inward onto a cable disposed therein with a folded wall moving to a substantial transverse planar condition without any axial shrinkage of the flange to create disruptions in the seals. If the flange has a sealing joint which includes an axial slot of the flange extending through a portion of the transverse wall and the adjacent wall portion, the flange in the expanded state has a non-uniform expansion so that the flange adjacent the slot has substantially no expansion so that during subsequent shrinking no contraction occurs adjacent the slots to cause a disruption in the sealing joint. Different methods can be utilized for expanding the flange without causing axial deformation.
