A binding for bundles of fibers in which fibers originating from at least one of the fiber bundles wind around the rest of the fibers in a manner locked by tension. Fiber bundles which are to be bound are deformed between deformation members and fibers are removed from at least one of the fiber bundles and are wound in a manner locked by tension around the remainder of the remaining pieces of fibers to be bound. Deformation members are positioned very close to each other, each having a profiled surface, and they can be driven in opposite directions with respect to each other. The fiber bundles which are to be bound are deformed in the gap between the deformation members.

Binding for fiber bundles, a method for the production of the binding

A method of and apparatus for binding fiber bundles which reduces an abrupt cross-sectional course at each end of the fiber bundle resulting from the loose ends of the bundles having been removed. The loose ends are, during the binding operation, severed in a fraying manner by abrasive edges and the frayed bound ends are worked into the resulting binding.

Method of and apparatus for the binding of fiber bundles

This invention relates to a method and an apparatus for avoiding untwisting during the formation of a binding of two fiber bundles. The rotational direction of deformation members acting on the fiber bundles is selected to be different in different groups of deformation members in order to reproduce or to increase the original twist during the binding operation.
