Abstract: A cable sleeve which is longitudinally water tight, includes a sleeve head which is composed of an outside member having an inner cavity which expands conically from one end towards the other end and an inside member which is introduced in the cavity and has an outside surface which is matched to the conical inside surface of the outside member so that when the two members are assembled, a conical annular gap is formed therebetween for holding leads of the cable in a fanned out manner. If the sleeve head is for a branch fitting, it will be constructed to receive two cables whose leads will both be fanned out in the gap between the inside and outside members, which gap also receives a small amount of sealing compound to form a water tight seal with the leads. The shape of the cavity and the outside surface of the inside member can be each conical or if the head is designed to receive more than one cable, it can have a flattened conical surface to form a flattened conical gap.

Abstract: A wrap-around cable sleeve liner is formed from a blank consisting of a smooth covering sheet and a corrugated sheet, which are secured together and have a line of indentations extending at an angle to the corrugations of the corrugated sheet adjacent each end of the sheet to form a bend line for the adaptation portions. The cable sleeve liner blank is preferably cut from a large area panel and has the indentations formed after cutting the blank so that blanks for different sizes can be formed as needed.

Abstract: An improved sealing element for a cable entrance socket of a cable sleeve characterized by the element being a liner element of a thermoplastic, cross-linked material having a shape memory and being shrinkable to a previous shape when subjected to a shrinking process. The liner element may be either a solid member or a cup-shaped hollow member and may have two or more axially extending, outwardly opening recesses for receiving cables.
