Abstract
Connection piece (3), which is mounted on the end of a wire cable (2), for connecting the wire cable (1) to a mounting support taking up tensile forces caused by longitudinal stresses in the wire cable (2), in which the external dimensions of the connection piece (3) in the direction transverse to the extended axis of the wire cable end (1) are substantially equal to or smaller than the diameter of the wire cable (2) and in which the wire cable is compressed in its end region until the wire cable end (1) fits into a cutout (6), provided for receiving the latter, in the connection piece (3).

Connection piece (3), which is mounted on the end of a wire cable (2), for connecting the wire cable end (1) to means for taking up tensile forces caused by longitudinal stresses in the wire cable (2), characterized in that the external dimensions of the connection piece (3) in the direction transverse to the extended axis of the wire cable end (1) are substantially equal to or smaller than the diameter of the wire cable (2) and the wire cable is compressed in its end region before it is connected to the connection piece (3) until the wire cable end (1) fits into a cutout (6), provided for receiving the latter, in the connection piece (3) of a smaller opening clearance than the diameter of the wire cable (2), and in that the external dimensions of the connection piece (3) in the direction of the extended axis of the wire cable end (1) are greater than the length of the compressed wire cable end (1) introduced into the cutout (6).
