A rope terminal fixing method is provided, which may be used easily at a construction site, causes less shearing load, and may reliably prevent the falling-off of the rope.

The rope terminal fixing method comprises the following steps. A tubular terminal metal fitting which comprises a proximal opening, a distal opening, and a through hole communicating the proximal and distal openings is prepared. A terminal of a rope is inserted through the proximal opening into the through hole, a portion of the terminal of the rope extended from the distal opening is loosened, and a diameter-enlarging member is fixed to a core wire of the rope. Then, the terminal of the rope is brought back into the through hole. A fixed width portion extending in an axial direction of the terminal metal fitting is pressed from the outside in a circumferential direction by swaging, such that a protrusion constraining the rope so as to reduce its diameter is formed in the through hole. The diameter-enlarging member cooperates with an end of the protrusion located on the distal opening side to constrain surrounding wires other than the core wire in a sandwiching manner. A rope with terminal fixing tools, which comprises the terminal fixing tools attached thereto by this method, is also provided.

A device for termination of a rope comprises a cylinder extending longitudinally from a base to a cone or pyramid, wherein the cylinder defines at least one channel for receiving a pair of subropes substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cylinder. It can be used for termination of rope manufactured from synthetic fibres or constructed from multiple subropes.

An end terminal is attached to a pultruded solid carbon rod by first splitting an end portion of the pultruded solid carbon rod into plural, relatively smaller carbon rod portions which are then fitted into the end terminal and fixed in place by a solidifiable liquid-phase material.
