Abstract
The invention relates to a device for connecting a string section to a pulling element which extends through the string section. The device includes a tilt lever support (100), at least one tilt lever (102), which is connected to the tilt lever support so as to enable the tilt lever to pivot about a pivot point, and thereby moving a support part (105) of the tilt lever for support on the string section from a retracted position into an extended position, wherein the retracted position is closer to the center axis of the device than the extended position. The device further includes a connection for connecting the tilt lever support to the pulling element.

A device for connecting a string section with a pulling element extending through the string section, comprising:
- a tilt lever support,
- at least one tilt lever which is connected to the tilt lever support for pivoting about a pivot point, the at least one tilt lever having a support part configured for supporting the at least one tilt lever on the string section for movement from a retracted position to an extended position, wherein the retracted position is located closer to a center axis of the device than the extended position, and
- a connection for connecting the tilt lever support with the pulling element.
A method for tensioning string sections to form a string, comprising the steps of:
- attaching a pulling element to a counter support arranged at a front end of the string;
- threading one or more string sections on the pulling element;
- connecting a device for connecting a string section to the pulling element, with the pulling element comprising a tilt lever support, at least one tilt lever which is connected with the tilt lever support so as to enable the tilt lever to pivot about a pivot point, so that a support part of the tilt lever, which is formed to support the tilt lever on the string section, is movable from a retracted position to an extended position, wherein the retracted position is arranged closer to the center axis of the device than the extended position, and a tensioning drive, so that the support part of the tilt lever is supported on the rear end of a last string section, and the tensioning drive is supported on the pulling element by a support element;
- activating the tensioning drive, whereby the tilt lever support and the tilt lever move relative to the support element;
- and
- activating the friction brake and retracting the tensioning device from the string.
