  • Device for jacketing elongated members
    Patent number: 5673468
    Abstract: A hand-held device has motor driven gears for propelling a longitudinally slit, corrugated tube along a guide track to a spreader which spreads the tube apart to enable the tube to encompass an elongated member, such as a cable, which passes through the spreader. A cutter on the device cuts the tube in a direction perpendicular to the tube axis when a sufficient length of the tube has been provided to jacket the elongated member. The cutting occurs only on the corrugation peaks (not valleys) of the tube.
