Patent number: 11828395Abstract: An in-line housing for maintaining a cable posture includes first and second barrels having first and second bores, respectively. The first and second barrels are mounted for movement with respect to each other into and out of a neutral arrangement. When the first and second barrels are arranged in the neutral arrangement, the first and second bores are coaxially registered with each other and enable rotational movement of a cable with respect to the housing when the cable is applied to the first and second barrels. When the first and second barrels are arranged out of the neutral arrangement, the first and second bores are skewed with respect to each other and disable rotational movement of the cable with respect to the housing when the cable is applied to the first and second barrels.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2022Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Inventors: Josh Simons, Michael Bargiel
