Abstract
A storable tubular element for covering an electric cable joint which includes a rigid tubular support with a three layer sleeve having an unstretched bore of a size less than the external diameter of the support mounted on the tubular support in radially stretched condition. The element is usable for a group of cables having several different diameters and the properties and thicknesses of the layers are selected so that with storage on the support, the layers do not tear and so that when the sleeve is applied to a joint, the sleeve will apply the desired pressure to the cable even though it has a temporary residual deformation and does not immediately tend to return to its initial unstretched state.
