Abstract
Connecting means for adjacent ends of core fibers. The core fibers are glass fibers drawn to have thin ends at one end, the thin end portion of which is coated with glass. The fibers uniformly increase in diameter in a generally conic conformation to thickened connecting points, where the fibers are connected in abutting engagement with each other. The thickened portions of the core fibers may be encased in a mass of synthetic resin, which may be machined along the peripheries of the thickened ends, to accommodate a centering ring to be pressed thereinto and hold the fibers in connected relation with respect to each other.
