ABSTRACT:
A device for splicing rope having a hard terminal end such as formed by melt cutting, comprising a hollow conical fid having an open slot along one face thereof, said slot decreasing in width along a major extent of such fid from the base to the apex thereof, said fid adapted to pierce and form an initial opening in a running length of said rope. A downwardly extending, generally flat tapered blade is adapted to be received in said slot for forcing said rope downwardly on the fid so as to progressively expand such opening so that a hardened end thereof may be passed therethrough and received by the slot. When the rope is upwardly removed from the fid, the narrowing taper of the slot wedges the hardened end therein, thus preventing its upward movement and thus enabling relative movement between the rope end and the running length thereof so as to result in automatic threading of the rope end through the opening to form a splice therein.
