  • Unitary fastener and cable guidance devices for helicopter block pulleys and methods of assembly and use
    Patent number: 12327986
    Abstract: A unitary fastener and cable guidance device is operable with a pulley block assembly for stringing cable across towers. The device guides a cable onto a sheave wheel of the assembly, while fastening directly to the assembly through a unitary cantilevered axle. The one-piece design comprises a pair of discs forming an annular depression there between, and a cantilevered axle extending from the outer side of one disc. This unitary configuration reduces the number of fasteners and other components. Since the cantilevered axle is the fastening mechanism, rather than a separate fastener passing through a hole through the center of the device, the minimum outer diameter of the annular depression can be smaller than the outer diameter of the cantilevered axle, allowing the central portion of the device to be smaller and thus its sides to be higher, which helps hold the cable more robustly within the device.
