  • Patent number: 6681465
    Abstract: An apparatus for reeving and spacing deadeyes and sheaves for model sailing ships. The apparatus has a base for support, a spacing block that is used for measuring off a set distance between the deadeyes and sheaves being reeved and a pair of clamping jaws to hold a plurality of deadeyes and sheaves in place while being reeved and threaded. The clamping jaws are set on the base and at the end of the spacing block. The spacing block is a raised plateau with incremental pre-measured sections and channels for providing a set of distances between the deadeyes and sheaves being reeved. The apparatus also has a secondary spacing block to increase the distance between the incremental pre-measured sections and channels of the provided spacing block.
