Abstract: There is provided a thread splicing arrangement having a splicing head with a splicing channel. In the vicinity of the ends of the channel, holding devices can clamp the ends of the threads during the splicing, and cutting arrangements can cut the free ends of the threads. The holding devices hold the threads near the base of the splicing channel. Pressurized gas channels are provided on both sides of the middle of the splicing channel. The outlets of these gas channels are located in the channel base and extend on both sides of a longitudinal plane of symmetry of the splicing channel. The axes of the pressurized gas channels approach that plane of symmetry at equal but opposite angles. This leads to a simple mode of construction providing good splicing for various different thread materials.
