Abstract
A splice for joining the armoring of two wire-armored cables (1, 2). The armoring is clamped between conical parts (5, 9; 6, 10) at each cable end. Each inner conical part (5, 6) is integral with a flange (7, 8) bolted to one of two similar flanges (13, 14) fixed to opposite ends of a generally tubular flexible assembly itself constituted by three layers of metal wires. The innermost first layer (22) is wound helically. The other two layers (19, 20) are wound with substantially equal and opposite pitches. The inside diameters of the first layer and of the circular openings in each of the two flanges (13, 14) fixed thereto are such that the flexible assembly is capable of sliding at one of its ends over at least one of the cables to be connected after its armoring layers have been removed, and at its other end over the splice (21) between the cables themselves. The invention also provides a method of making the splice.
