ABSTRACT:
A watertight construction is provided at ends of wires where a core convergent splice portion is formed. The construction includes a plurality of wires w which are tightened by taping or by a band at locations on the insulation coatings of the wires and near exposed cores 1 where a core convergent splice portion 1A is formed. An adhesive is caused to penetrate into and solidify in clearances between the cores 1 and the wires w in a portion between the core convergent splice portion 1A and the tightened portion where the clearances are narrowed, thereby adhering the cores 1 to each other and the wires w to each other. A heat-shrinkable tube 6 having a hot-melt layer 6a formed on its inner surface is mounted on the ends of the wires w, and clearances S3 between the insulation coatings 2 of the wires w and the tube 6 are filled by the melted and solidified hot-melt layer 6a.
