  The steel stranded wire is obtained by bundling a plurality of steel wires to give a twist, and when a tensile force is introduced, a so-called untwisting action occurs in which the twist is twisted in a relaxed direction. At the fixing end when the tension force is introduced, the fixing tool is strongly pressed against the structural member or the like by the tension force introduced into the steel strand. Therefore, the twisting force due to the untwisting action can be easily restrained at both ends. However, a force that rotates around the axis of the stranded wire acts on the connector, which may cause inconvenience as described below.

That is, the steel sleeve 105 rotates about the axis by the untwisting action of the second tendon material 102 and the steel sleeve 105 and the joining member 106 are twisted together, or the steel sleeve 104 and the joining member 106 are twisted together. Rotate the part that has been loosened.

The steel sleeve 114 and the steel block or the steel sleeve 115 to which the second tendon is fixed tend to rotate in the opposite direction. When a force that causes relative rotation acts on the steel blocks or steel sleeves 114 and 115 joined to each other in this manner, there is a possibility that the joining member 116 that has been twisted will come out.
