Compact covering device

Abstract

Abstract A covering device for covering elongate objects such as low voltage, medium voltage and high voltage cables with insulating, conducting or sealing sleeves. The covering device comprises a folded elastic tubular member having an inner portion and at least one coaxially disposed outer portion overlaying the inner portion. The inner and outer portions are continuously joined at a circumferential edge. A first support core holds the inner portion in a radially stretched condition, and a second support core holds the outer portion in a radially stretched condition. As the first and second support cores are removed, the stretched article returns to an unstretched condition.
