Abstract

This invention provides a marker sleeve assembly comprising a series of flattened tubular recoverable marker sleeves held by at least one longitudinal carrier strip which holds the sleeves in fixed spaced apart relationship extending laterally from the strip. In a preferred embodiment, this invention provides a marker sleeve assembly which comprises a pair of parallel longitudinal carrier strips the inner edges of which have two layers with adhesive means on the inside facing surfaces of the two layers. The ends of the flattened tubular recoverable marker sleeves are positioned between the layers and held in position by the adhesive means on the inside surfaces of said layers of the carrier strips. The flattened marker sleeves are spaced apart whereby a portion of each adhesive means on the inside surface on each said layer of each carrier strip alternately engages the ends of the flattened marker sleeves and the opposing adhesive means on the opposing surface of the opposing layer of that carrier strip. The opposing adhesive means engaging each other aid in holding the flattened tubular marker sleeves in their flattened configuration in the assembly.
