  • Device for absorbing tension loads in an elongate flexible member
    Patent number: 4211308
    Abstract: A device is provided for absorbing tension loads in a flexible member. The device is shaped as a bent tube for mounting on the flexible member. The free ends of the tube are so oriented that at each free end a tangent to the curved central axis of the tube forms, in a non-loaded condition for the tube, an acute angle with a line through the centers of the tube ends. The device resists straightening of the flexible member when loading the flexible member.
