Abstract:

A split collar for surrounding an article comprises two half sections, each having an internal surface configured to engage the article. A pair of grooves surrounds the collar, and a cut-out is provided to form a pair of attachment projections. An elastic member, such as a rubber band or O-ring, is folded in half and one end is placed around one of the projections. The two strands of the folded elastic member are then placed in the grooves and drawn around the two half sections. The other end of the elastic member is then stretched over the other projection, whereby the two half sections are held together. The collar is suited for many uses, such as covering the junction between the telescoping tubes of a motorcycle fork assembly.
