Abstract

A stopper for a rope which is injection molded on the rope. The stopper has a sleeve-like shape and surrounds the rope without play and prevents an axial slippage of the stopper from the rope. A strut is formed as one piece with the stopper and extends radially through the inner diameter of the rope. Also a method of forming a stopper on a rope is included.
