Abstract

See full text

An elastomeric tubular casing encompasses an elongate, flaccid, textile article. The elastomeric tubular casing has a tube interior; a tube exterior; and tube first and second ends. The elastomeric tube in a first post-production orientation is rolled into a doughnut geometry, and adapted to unroll about the elongate, flaccid, textile article to resume a generally cylindrical tubular geometry, and thereby encase a portion of the textile article. According to a method of laundering an elongate, flaccid, textile article, the elongate, flaccid, textile article is encased with an elastomeric sleeve, the elastomeric sleeve having an interior diameter approximately equal to an exterior circumference of the elongate flaccid textile article and the elastomeric sleeve extending longitudinally co-extensively the elongate, flaccid textile article. The encased textile article is then laundered. The elastomeric sleeve is removed from the laundered textile article to yield a laundered, elongate, flaccid, textile article.
