Abstract

A binding for bundles of fibers in which fibers originating from at least one of the fiber bundles wind around the rest of the fibers in a manner locked by tension. Fiber bundles which are to be bound are deformed between deformation members and fibers are removed from at least one of the fiber bundles and are wound in a manner locked by tension around the remainder of the remaining pieces of fibers to be bound. Deformation members are positioned very close to each other, each having a profiled surface, and they can be driven in opposite directions with respect to each other. The fiber bundles which are to be bound are deformed in the gap between the deformation members.
