Abstract:
A sonotrode ( 18 ) for producing a welded and/or soldered join between a cable ( 17 ) and a sheath ( 17 ), covering the cable ( 17 ), comprising at least one working surface ( 2 ). The working surface ( 2 ) is curved in a concave manner, at least in sections. An anvil ( 10 ) comprises at least one counter surface ( 11 ) which is curved in a concave manner, at least in sections. The device for producing the join between a cable ( 17 ) and a sheath ( 17 ), covering the cable ( 17 ), comprises a sonotrode ( 18 ) joined to an ultrasound source ( 8 ) at least at a joining surface ( 5 ), and comprising an anvil ( 10 ) arranged opposite the working surface ( 2 ) of the sonotrode ( 18 ). A method for producing a join between a cable ( 17 ) and a sheath ( 17 ) covering the cable ( 17 ) is also disclosed.

Claim (Index 55):
A method for producing a joint between a cable and a sheath covering the cable, the method comprising:\n providing an apparatus having a sonotrode as claimed in  claim 42 , positioning the sheath such that an axis of the sheath is approximately aligned with a groove axis of a groove in the working face, applying the sheath, either before or after the positioning of the sheath, to the cable, pressing the working face against the sheath such that the axis of the sheath is aligned with the groove axis, and imparting an ultrasonic vibration into the sheath by the sonotrode such that the cable is at least sectionally connected to the sheath.
