  • Patent number: 5104468
    Abstract: There is provided a molded connection piece and a method of making the same, in particular a boring saddle made of thermoplastic material and having a heating wire capable of conducting an electric current for producing a welded joint between the molded connection piece and an object to be joined with the molded connection piece. The heating wire is embedded in both surfaces of a disk-shaped core, in each case following the course of a spiral-shaped groove, and the core having the heating wire is joined with the molded connection piece. The disk-shaped core is formed of a material which, on melting, combines itself with the material of the molded connection piece.
