Abstract
A cord (3) which consists of a plurality or a bundle of individual filaments (2), especially individual wires, can be inserted into an opening (4) with a stripped or bare end (1), even if the filaments (2) are spread out at this end (1). The cord is grasped near the free end (14) of the bare filaments (2), and the filaments (2) are pressed together over the total circumference of the cord. The free end of the cord is provided with a contour which corresponds to the receiving opening (4). The compacting occurs for this purpose in such a manner that opposite the pressure position a projection at the free end (14) still remains, which now in this contoured shape fits and is inserted into the opening (4). Thereafter, the bundle of filaments (2) is then pressed together again at a slight distance from the opening (4), and by this aforementioned distance is inserted into the opening (4) or the sheath (5). This is then repeated stepwise until the entire end (1) of the cord (3) is inserted into the opening (4), so that the sheath (5) can thereafter be compacted.
