A method for jointing a rubbery-core-inserted braid (1) is provided. In the method, a mold (2) made of a pair of templates (21) and (22) is prepared, wherein the templates (21) and (22) may be closed in such a manner that trenches (23) and (24), which are respectively made in inner faces of both the templates (21) and (22) , can constitute a through hole (25) into which a rubbery-core-inserted braid (1) is tightly fittable. The method includes a step of fitting an end (11) of the rubbery-core-inserted braid (1) into the trench (23) in one of the templates, i.e., the template (21) while fitting the other end (12) of the rubbery-core-inserted braid (1) or an end (12) of another rubbery-core-inserted braid into the trench (23), thereby causing both the ends (11) and (12) of the rubbery-core-inserted braid(s) (1) to approach each other, a step of interposing a thermoplastic resin (3) between both the ends (11) and (12), and a step of heating and melting the thermoplastic resin (3) in a state where the mold (2) is closed, causing the melted resin to penetrate into the ends (11) and (12) of the rubbery-core-inserted braid(s) (1), and solidifying the melted resin, thereby jointing the ends (11) and (12) of the rubbery-core-inserted braid(s) (1) to each other. |
