CONNECTION METHOD OF METAL LINEAR ELEMENT AND CONNECTION DEVICE OF METAL LINEAR ELEMENT

摘要

A connection method and a connection device of a metal linear element capable of firmly connecting metal linear elements easily and inexpensively. A connection method for connecting opposing metal linear elements (1) to each other in which a pair of second spur gears (41a, 41b) each having an insertion hole and a slit capable of holding a metal linear element (1) and formed at an interval are disposed at an interval, the insertion holes and the slits of these second spur gears (41a, 41b) are allowed to hold portions in the vicinities of the end portions (1a) of respective metal linear elements (1) that are stretched with the portions in the vicinities of end portions (1a) of the metal linear elements (1) kept overlapped in the axial direction, and the second spur gears (41a, 41b) are relatively rotated in opposite directions with the portions between the insertion holes and the slits as the centers of rotation, whereby the metal linear elements (1) are twisted and connected together between these second spur gears (41a, 41b) with a spacer (45) restricting the movement to the radial outside.
