Abstract

See full text

A splicing apparatus for interconnecting tubes may include: a first longitudinally elongate structure including a first radially outer surface and a first radially inner surface; a second longitudinally elongate structure including a second radially outer surface and a second radially inner surface, the first and second structures being configured to be arranged with the first and second inner surfaces facing each together and the first and second outer surfaces defining an equivalent diameter; and at least one movable element configured to engage the first and second inner surfaces, whereby movement of the at least one movable element changes a relative position of the first and second structures thereby changing the equivalent diameter defined by the first and second outer surfaces. A kit for a pool cover assembly may include first and second tubes and a splicing apparatus configured to interconnect the tubes.
