Abstract

The assembly includes a protective elastic tubular body and a tubular core for holding the tubular body expanded including a first part and a second part which are associated, the core being in an operating position in which the second part covers the first part, and being configured for an elongate member to be inserted into its internal space in operating position and for a pull then applied to the first part to make it slide relative to the second part to reach an extended position in which it can no longer move in relation to the second part; the second part including legs projecting axially from a collar and connected to each other exclusively by the collar; in the operating position the collar and legs surround the first part; and in the extended position the collar surrounds the first part and the legs are axially beyond the first part.
