Abstract
The present invention provides a production method for a closed-loop cable. The method includes the steps of providing a cable including a core and metal strands helically wound around the core, connecting two ends of the cable in splice areas via splice knots formed by ends of each metal strand, inserting the metal strand ends inside the cable after locally removing the core and subsequently overmolding each splice area using a polymer.
Claims17
A production method for a closed-loop cable comprising the steps of:
- providing a cable including a core and metal strands helically wound around the core, the cable having a first end and a second end;
- splicing the first and second ends of the cable together by connecting the first and second ends of the cable in splice areas via splice knots formed by ends of each metal strand;
- inserting at least one metal strand from the first end inside the second end of the cable after locally removing the core;
- and
- subsequently overmolding each splice area using a polymer, the polymer contacting one of the metal strands.

- connecting two ends of the cable in splice areas via splice knots formed with the ends of each metal strand;
- inserting the metal strand ends inside the cable after locally removing the core;
- and
- dressing at least one of the metal strand ends individually by overmolding with a polymer prior to inserting the metal strand ends inside the cable.
