A gripping device (10,40) for transmitting a tensile load to an elastic strip (22,48) comprising: a first part, having a through slit (20,46) adapted to accommodate the elastic strip (22,48), wherein the slit (20,46) constitutes, in its longitudinal section, a wavy curve such that a curvature of the wavy curve has a zero value at an entry point (24,74) into the through slit (20,46) , and a maximum value of the curvature in each subsequent wave is greater than in the previous one; wherein the load is transmitted to the elastic strip (22,48) due to friction forces arising from the elastic strip (22,48) tensioning into the through slit (20,46) and microslipping over curved surfaces of the through slit (20,46); and a second part adapted to fasten, in relation to the first part, an end of the elastic strip (22,48) emerging from an exit point (26,76) of the through slit (20,46). A method of transmitting a tensile load to an elastic strip (22,48) by means of the device is also provided. |
