  • Safety cable for fasteners
    Patent number: 5116178
    Abstract: The invention concerns safety cable used to prevent loosening of threaded fasteners. A multi-strand cable is strung through holes in the fasteners and is held in place by sleeves which are crimped over the cable ends. The cable dampens vibration better than solid wire, which is used presently, and, for a given weight of cable, provides greater strength than solid wire, thus saving weight, which is important in aircraft applications.
