Zusammenfassung:	A method of inserting elongate elements positioned in end-to-end relationship into a continuous resilient flexible sleeve is disclosed. The sleeve has a wall that extends around and partially encloses the elongate elements to hold them in position within the sleeve and the wall has a longitudinally extending opening configured to enable a user to make contact with elongate elements held by said sleeve, through the opening, to push them along the sleeve towards, and out of one end of the sleeve. The insertion method includes continuously feeding the sleeve through a member that deforms a region of the sleeve to enlarge the opening and simultaneously feeding a continuous length of elongate elements positioned in end-to-end relationship into the sleeve through the enlarged opening in said region so that the sleeve closes around the elongate elements when it travels beyond said member.
