Abstract
Abstract A process for the production of a marker sleeve assembly which comprises deforming a substantially non-cross-linked web of polymeric material at a temperature below the crystalline melting point or softening point of the material to render the web heat-recoverable, fusing together parts of the web or parts of the web and at least one other polymeric web to define a plurality of radially inwardly heat-recoverable marker sleeves, disposed in side-by-side relationship and preferably separable and subsequently cross-linking the resulting assembly.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
A marker sleeve assembly comprising: a first sheet and a second sheet of flexible material arranged in face-to-face relationship and having longitudinal axes disposed parallel to one another, said sheets being heat-recoverable primarily along the longitudinal axes of the first and second sheets; a plurality of spaced transverse seams joining the first and second sheets at prescribed intervals, the transverse seams being arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the first and second sheets, each pair of adjacent transverse seams defining a marker sleeve which is radially heat-recoverable, the seams being cross-linked to strengthen the seams to withstand radial heat recovery.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
