Abstract

A method of producing a tension-proof thread connection by splicing includes preparing threads for splicing by contacting ends of the thread with a hot gas before splicing for dissolving the thread ends into open-ended individual fibers, for softening the individual fibers and for making the fibers better suited for splicing; and subsequently splicing the threads by alternatingly tangling, interlocking, swirling and intertwining the fibers of the thread ends, and a device for carrying out the method.
