Abstract:
1. A method for jointing a rubbery-core-inserted braid consisting of an inner rubbery core and an outer covering braid that covers the inner rubbery core and is made of synthetic resin fibers, comprising: a step of causing ends of the rubbery-core-inserted braid to approach each other, thereby making the ends opposite to each other, a step of interposing a thermoplastic resin, or a mixture of a thermoplastic resin and an adhesive between both the ends, and a step of heating and melting the thermoplastic resin, or the thermoplastic resin in the mixture in a state where a circumferential wall corresponding to the contour of end faces of the rubbery-core-inserted braid stretches over the ends of the rubbery-core-inserted braid to surround the ends, causing the melted resin to penetrate into the ends of the rubbery-core-inserted braid, and solidifying the melted resin, thereby jointing the ends of the rubbery-core-inserted braid to each other.
