Abstract
This invention relates to a pressurized telecommunication cable joint closure method and apparatus. Provided is a cylinder comprising a pair of semicylindrical shell members connected together along one elongate edge of each member and releasable securing means on the other elongate edge of each member. The securing means comprises a plurality of projections on one member edge and a matching plurality of receiving means on the other member edge whereas the projections extend radially inward and lie within a plane containing the longitudinal axis of one of the shell members. The cylinder further has interleaved rectilinear fingers at the ends that are for sealing to joined cables. A heat shrinkable wraparound member is used to enclose the cylinder and joined cables.
