A wire cable is unravelled at one end wherein the unravelled individual wire strands are formed into a pear-shaped construction whereby concrete is formed within and without the pear-shaped configuration so as to form a tie-anchor thereof. The invention relates to the process and apparatus for forming the tie-anchor as well. The pear-shaped configuration as formed provides improved tie anchor within a minimum of feed length of cable required to form same, while eliminating the need for costly anchor plates and keys. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A tie-anchor for a reinforcing cable comprising, a plurality of steel wires, a first portion being entwined, a second portion being untwined with the wires being radially outwardly disposed, said second portion having a pear-shaped configuration for subsequently filling with concrete, a third portion wherein the wires are bent so as to be entwined substantially in a first plane, and wherein the free ends of the bent wires being substantially in a second plane adjacent the first plane, said free ends being outwardly facingly disposed away from each other.
2.
The tie-anchor of claim 1, wherein the second portion is formed at one end of the cable.
3.
The tie-anchor of claim 1, wherein one end of the pear-shaped configuration is substantially flat.
4.
The tie-anchor of claim 3, wherein the flat end is pependicular to the axis of the first portion of the cable.
5.
The tie-anchor of claim 1, wherein the ratio of the widest second portion diameter to the first portion diameter is from about 4:1 to 10:1.
6.
A tie-anchor for a reinforcing cable comprising a plurality of steel wires, said wires being plastically deformably spread through spreading accompanied by plastic deformation of the wires, the ratio of the diameter of the portion of the cable with the spread wires to the diameter of the portion with unspread wires being between 4:1 and 10:1, wherein the spread wires comprise a substantially pear-shaped configuration in which the wires are spaced from each other so as to permit the space formed between the wires to be subsequently filled with concrete so as to be therewithin, in which the wires are bent in the starting portion of the tie-anchor adjacent the portion where the wires have not been spread apart with a radius of curvature not remaining under a predetermined minimum value, in which a terminal portion is formed by a hook-like inward bending of the spread wires reversed towards the starting portion with the ends of the wires being outwardly facedly disposed, said inward bent spread wires being situated substantially in a plane crosswise to the axis of the strand and being brought together at the axis of the strand, said radius of curvature being formed at the starting portion
