  • Method and apparatus for connecting the ends of two assemblages of threads
    Patent number: 5479769
    Abstract: A method and device (100) for connecting the ends of two assemblages (1A, ) of threads (10A, 10B). The ends of the assemblages (1A, 1B) are subjected to an untwisting operation in order to separate the threads (10A1, 10B1) of these ends from each other; as many junction pairs (C) as there are threads (10A1, 10B1) are formed in each of the assemblages (1A, 1B); the filaments of the threads (10A1, 10B1) in the pairs (C) are untwisted, the untwisted parts are placed side by side in each pair (c) so as to obtain a junction region (15); the filaments of the two threads (10A1, 10B1) are assembled together by air splicing in each region (15); all the threads (10A, 10B) thus combined are assembled together by twisting. Joint assemblages thus obtained. Articles, for instance automobile tires, reinforced with these assemblages.
