Abstract: A cable bending device specifically adapted to form an expansion bend or loop in a cable television wire or cable to enable the cable television cable to expand and contract during temperature changes without undue tension, stress or buckling of the cable television cable. The bending device includes an elongated, generally vertical plate supported from the lasher cable at a point adjacent a supporting pole or the like with the plate including a pair of end shoes engaging the undersurface of the cable television cable and a center shoe engaging the top surface of the cable television cable. The center shoe can be adjusted vertically by a handcrank and screw threaded shaft arrangement and the two end shoes can be adjusted and locked by eccentric locking mechanism.
