Abstract:
A process for connecting a free end (1) of a cord comprising individual filaments (2) to an opening (4) defined by a continuous circumferential wall, wherein the filaments (2) are inserted into the opening (4) and thereafter the continuous circumferential wall and the filaments are pressed together, comprising grasping the filaments the cord (3) near a front side (14) of the filaments (2), compacting the filaments (2) together with a pressing tool (6) over an entire circumference of the filaments (2), inserting a projection (15) of the filaments (2), which is opposite the grasped position and projects towards the front side (14) of the Filaments, into the opening (4), releasing the pressing tool (6) and moving the pressing tool away from the opening (4) in a longitudinal axial direction of the cord (3), applying the pressing tool (6) again, so that the filaments are compacted again over the entire circumference at a distance from the opening (4), shoving the filaments further into the opening (4), repeating the releasing, applying and shoving stepwise until a total lengthwise area of the free end (1) of the cord (3) is inserted into the opening (4) to a desired dimension.
