Abstract
An apparatus for securing together two elongated members, such as rope, at two portions thereof including a friction increasing member interposed between adjacent sides of the two portions and a heat shrinkable tube surrounding the two portions. A normally dry, heat activated adhesive is coated on the interior surface of the tube or on the two portions of the elongated members to adhere the heat shrinkable tube to the elongated members. In instances where only small stresses are encountered by the connecting apparatus, the friction member is eliminated.
