Abstract
A hand-held splicing device for melt butt splicing thermoplastic yarns or tapes together. The splicing device comprises two-yarn clamping means, a diagonally positioned heat cutting element; means for bringing two clamped yarns in diagonal contact with the melting element and means for simultaneously lifting the severed yarns away from the cutting element and buttwise joining the melted ends together thereby fusing the yarns together. The device and mode of operation are characterized by convenience and ease of operation and afford a small strong splice especially desirable for carpet tufting operations.
