Abstract

Cette invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant d'effectuer un joint dans un article allongé constitué d'une matière thermoplastique, tel qu'une main courante d'escalier mécanique (120) ou une courroie transporteuse, qui peut comporter entre autres une pluralité de câbles de renforcement et un tissu assurant le glissement. On maintient les extrémités de l'article (20) dans un moule (12) et on les chauffe de façon à refondre la matière dont l'article est composé. On refroidit des parties adjacentes aux extrémités, au niveau des extrémités du moule, afin d'empêcher leur refonte. Les extrémités en fusion se réunissent alors et l'on refroidit le joint en fusion pour solidifier ladite matière et réaliser le joint. Lorsque des câbles de renforcement (126) sont présents, on peut couper ceux-ci suivant un modèle d'entrelacement, qui est avantageusement disponible dans une seule couche de l'article plutôt que disposé à travers toute la profondeur de l'article. On peut remplacer une couche supérieure (160) par un capuchon supérieur distinct constitué de la matière composant le corps de l'article. Lorsqu'un organe glissant est présent, on coupe, afin d'assurer un effet d'entrelacement efficace, une couche inférieure ou une partie de la main courante suivant une direction inclinée, de façon à former un joint incliné dans l'organe glissant.
