ABSTRACT:
A line splicing machine comprised of an elongate tubular fid, a removable tip and wire snare slidably disposed within the fid are disclosed. The tip has a shank which nests in the fid's forward end, the shank having a slot for receipt of the wire snare. The wire snare is biased in a rearward direction to hold either the tip, or the end of a line to be spliced, against the fid's forward end. In one embodiment, the mechanism for biasing the wire snare rearward comprises a spring-biased, over-center flop handle. In another, the biasing mechanism is a pivoting arm having a sliding collar thereon, the collar inhibiting the arm's motion when settled against a toothed protrusion. An embodiment with interchangeable sized fids, and a fid adaptor sleeve having a conical end and a concave end for increasing the size of line able to be spliced with a given fid size, are also disclosed.
