Abstract

Method of producing a knot-free thread connection by splicing, which includes mixing, alternately interlocking and anchoring individual fibers of the threads to be joined to each other in a first pre-splicing operation, and subsequently further and finally intertwining and anchoring the threads to each other in a separate finish-splicing operation, and an apparatus for carrying out the method.
