A device for connecting two wires in series consists of a block (3) having two bores (8) extending end-to-end of the block. At first ends (12) of the bores (located respectively at opposite ends of the block) the wires are anchored when tensioned (e.g. by means of split conical wedges), so that the tensioned length of each wire extends through the block to exit at the second end of the bore. To improve access to the wires when tensioning them, the bores have portions (8a and 12) extending from said first ends which have straight axes (20,22), these axes not being parallel to each other but lying in parallel planes. Adjacent the second ends, the walls of the bores have curved portions to permit the wires to lie on a common axis where they exit from the bores. |
