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.

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;
- 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.
A production method for a closed-loop cable comprising:
- providing a cable with a core and metal strands helically wound around the core;
- 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 the metal strand ends by overmolding with a polymer prior to inserting the metal strand ends inside the cable.
A production method for a closed-loop cable, the cable comprising a core and metal strands helically wound around the core, two ends of the cable being in splice areas in which splice knots are formed with the ends of each of the strands, that are next inserted inside said cable after having locally removed the core where each splice area is subsequently overmolded using a polymer.
