Abstract

The invention relates to a protective covering comprising a plurality of substantially L-shaped protective covering segments (2, 16) comprising a cover leg (3, 17) and a support leg (4, 18) which are arranged relative to one another in such a way that they are telescopically slidable with respect to one another, wherein the cover legs (3, 17) of adjacent protective covering segments (2, 16) each come to bear on one another thus forming an overall substantially closed surface, and comprising at least one band-shaped or web-shaped flexible connecting element (5, 31) which connects the support legs (4, 18) of the protective covering segments (2, 16) with each other so as to at least transfer a tensile force. Disposed on each of the support legs (4, 18) is at least one elastic reset element (11, 32) such that said element is fastened with its first end to the support leg (4, 18) and abuts with its second end with prestressing against a section of the connecting element (5, 31) so as to urge said section in the direction of the support leg (4, 18).
