Abstract
An arrangement for delivering an elastic sleeve on to an electric cable comprises an elastic sleeve (20) expanded radially on to a hollow rigid tubular support tube (18) with a tubular mesh (22) of plastics material interposed therebetween. The mesh (22) extends beyond one end of the support tube (18) and is then fed back through its hollow center. The one end of the tube (18) is disposed adjacent the end of the cable, and the mesh (22) within the tube (18) is progressively pulled so as to invert the sleeve (20) on to the cable end.
