Cable protection device

A cable protecting device for a cable having a longitudinal extent, comprising:

• a first planar leg having a longitudinal extent and a second planar leg having a longitudinal extent;
• said first and second legs being disposed in a common plane and having adjacent longitudinally extending edge portions joined along notched means for bending one of said first or second legs into a position substantially normal to the other of said first or second legs;
• said first and second legs including, on the same side of said common plane, adhesive means for securing said device to at least one support surface;
• the side of said first leg opposite said adhesive means including a flexible covering extending away from said opposite side, the free end of said covering including a latch protrusion,
• the side of said second leg opposite said adhesive means including a flexible cover extending away from said opposite side toward said flexible covering and a latch recess complementarily configured with said latch protrusion, said flexible cover being located closer to said notched bending means than said latch recess,
• whereby when one of said first or second legs is bent into said substantially normal position relative to the other of said first or second legs, said flexible covering latch protrusion is inserted into, and latched with, said latch recess so that a longitudinally extending closed housing is formed for protection of an enclosed cable.
