Abstract: Turnbuckle linkages are disclosed herein. A turnbuckle linkage includes a hollow rod including an inner portion, a first outer portion, and a second outer portion between the first outer portion and the inner portion, the inner portion including a first thickness, the second outer portion including a second thickness less than the first thickness, and the first outer portion including a conical thickness that varies from the second thickness to a third thickness less than the second thickness, the first outer portion and the second outer portion including first threads, a threadless rod to be partially positioned in the hollow rod, and a conical nut including second threads to engage the first threads, the conical nut to couple the hollow rod and the threadless rod.

Abstract: Turnbuckle linkages are disclosed herein. A turnbuckle linkage includes an inside rod including a first opening on a first longitudinal end and a second opening on a second longitudinal end of the inside rod, the first opening and the second opening extending at least partially through the inside rod, the inside rod including tabs extending from the first longitudinal end and the second longitudinal end of the inside rod around the first opening and the second opening, an exterior surface of the tabs including conical threads, outside rods to be positioned within the openings of the inside rod, the tabs of the inside rod at least partially surrounding the outside rods, the outside rods including end bearings to couple to a first structure and a second structure, and conical nuts to constrict the tabs around the outside rods and couple the inside rod and the outside rods.

Abstract: Turnbuckle link-gages are disclosed herein.
