It is preferable that the connected fiber bundles 11 and the connection fiber bundles 15 in the overlapping portion are sandwiched so that the relaxation rate is 0.03 to 2%.
- both the connected fiber bundle 11 and the connecting fiber bundle 15 in the overlapping portion between the sandwiching points are in the opened state. become.
- the connected fiber bundle 11 and the connected fiber bundle 15 that have been opened cannot keep their filament yarns completely returned to their original positions, and the opened state is maintained.
- the pre-entangled portion 12 having a length La mixed with the filament yarns 11a and 15a is formed (FIG. 3B).
- the relaxation rate is defined by the following equation.
- Relaxation rate [%] [(actual length of fiber bundle clamped between clamping points) ⁇ (linear distance between clamping points)] / [linear distance between clamping points] ⁇ 100
- the fiber bundle in said formula is the to-be-connected fiber bundle 11 and the connection fiber bundle 15.
- the holding of the preliminary entanglement portion 12 is released, and fluid is ejected here.
- the connected fiber bundle 11 and the connecting fiber bundle 15 that are in the pre-entangled state are swirled and strongly twisted, and the main entangled part 13 having the lengths Lb1 and Lb2 is formed in the pre-entangled part 12 (FIG. 3 (c)).
- the entangled portion 13 is preferably formed so that the length shrinkage rate is 1 to 40 [%].
- fluid is ejected at two locations in the preliminary entangled portion 12 to form a total of two main entangled portions 13.
- one entanglement point is constituted by one main entanglement part 13 and the preliminary entanglement part 12 adjacent to the main entanglement part 13.

- the entanglement device 25 includes an entanglement means 29 capable of reciprocating in the fiber bundle direction (longitudinal direction of the fiber bundle), and clamping mechanisms 21 and 23 for the connected fiber bundle 11 and the connected fiber bundle 15.
- one entanglement device 25 or a plurality of entanglement devices 25 arranged in parallel along the fiber bundle direction can be used.
- the entanglement means 29 is connected to a fluid supply source (not shown), and an arrow 29a indicates the flow direction of the fluid.
- FIG. 4B shows a state in which the to-be-connected fiber bundle 11 and the connecting fiber bundle 15 are pinched using the pinching mechanisms 21 and 23.
- the one end side of the to-be-connected fiber bundle 11 and the one end side of the connecting fiber bundle 15 are threaded into the entanglement device 25 so as to overlap each other with a predetermined length in the device (FIG. 4A). Subsequently, the to-be-connected fiber bundle 11 and the connection fiber bundle 15 are clamped using the clamping mechanisms 21 and 23, and an overlapping part is formed between the clamping mechanism 21 and the clamping mechanism 23 (FIG. 4B). At this time, the to-be-connected fiber bundle 11 and the connecting fiber bundle 15 are preferably sandwiched so that the relaxation rate between the sandwiching points is 0.03 to 2%.
- the relaxation rate is adjusted by directly measuring the actual lengths of the connected fiber bundle 11 and the connecting fiber bundle 15 and sandwiching the connected fiber bundle 11 and the connecting fiber bundle 15 at a predetermined actual length. Alternatively, after the connected fiber bundle 11 and the connecting fiber bundle 15 are sandwiched without slack, the sandwiching point may be moved in the fiber bundle direction.
- one entanglement means 29 is illustrated in the entanglement device 25, but a plurality of entanglement means 29 may be provided in the entanglement device 25.
- the entanglement means 29 known means such as an interlace nozzle can be used.
- the preliminary entanglement means that the connected fiber bundle and the connecting fiber bundle are overlapped and sandwiched to be in a constrained state, and a high pressure fluid is ejected onto these to connect the connected fiber bundle and the connecting fiber bundle.
- This refers to blending in single yarn units. Since the fiber bundle of the fiber bundle to be connected and the fiber bundle to be connected is carried out in a constrained state, both fiber bundles do not substantially turn. Therefore, a twist is not substantially formed in both fiber bundles.
- Pre-entanglement may be performed with the positions of the plurality of entanglement means being fixed, or may be performed while reciprocating one or more entanglement means in the fiber bundle direction.
- the entanglement means may or may not eject the fluid when moved. That is, the fluid may be ejected while moving, or the fluid may be ejected after stopping the movement.
- both ends of the connected fiber bundle and the connecting fiber bundle are sandwiched at a relaxation rate of 0.03 to 2%, and both ends of the connected fiber bundle and the connecting fiber bundle are 0.1 to 2%. It is more preferable that it is sandwiched at 1 [%].
- the relaxation rate is less than 0.03 [%]
- the fiber bundle is easily damaged by the high-pressure fluid.
- the relaxation rate exceeds 2 [%]
- a twist is easily formed and a preliminary entangled portion is hardly formed.
- the connected fiber bundle and the connecting fiber bundle of the pre-entangled part are not mixed in units of single yarn, a place where the connected fiber bundle is unevenly distributed in the connecting part may be formed.
- the continuous fiber bundle (connection portion) is likely to be cut.
- the pre-entangled portion may be formed on the entire overlapping portion of the connected fiber bundle and the connecting fiber bundle, or may be formed on a part thereof.
- the length of the pre-entangled portion (the total length, which is “La” in FIG. 3B) is preferably 90 to 2,000 [mm], and 140 to 1,000 [mm]. It is more preferable. When it is less than 90 [mm], the effect of increasing the strength by mixing the fiber bundle to be connected and the fiber bundle to be connected may not be sufficiently obtained. When it exceeds 2,000 [mm], the apparatus equipment for confounding becomes large, which is economically disadvantageous.
- the present entanglement means that the high-pressure fluid is ejected in a state where the constraint of the preliminary entanglement part is released, thereby causing the connected fiber bundle and the connection fiber bundle of the preliminary entanglement part to rotate and entangle. Since this entanglement is performed in an unconstrained state, the connected fiber bundle and the connected fiber bundle of the preliminary entangled portion are swirled by the injection of the high-pressure fluid. As a result, a twist is formed in the preliminary entangled portion.
- This entanglement may be performed in a state where the positions of a plurality of entanglement means are fixed, or may be performed after one or more entanglement means are reciprocated in the fiber bundle direction and then stopped.
- the preliminary entanglement means and the main entanglement means may use the same means or separate dedicated means.

- the entangled portion is preferably formed at 2 to 10 locations per connection location, more preferably 3 to 8 locations. In the case of less than two places, the connection strength of the connection portion tends to be insufficient. When it exceeds 10 places, it is unpreferable mainly from a viewpoint of economical efficiency.
