Abstract
Abstract A cable sleeve, which has a closable, longitudinal slit and is a tubular member of shrinkable material, has a closure formed by a pair of overlapping edge portions, which extend along the longitudinal slit. The outer edge portion has a bead formed by a fold which extends the length of the edge portion and forms a longitudinally extending groove opening toward the inner edge portion, which has an outwardly extending bead snappably engaged in said groove to form a sealed relationship. A support clamp is disposed on the fold of the outer edge portion to engage the fold adjacent the opening to hold the bead of the inner edge portion in the groove.
