ABSTRACT:
An improved turnbuckle assembly comprising a one-piece generally tubular stamped clip and a nut member mounted to a first axial end of said clip for rotative motion relative thereto is provided. The other axial end of said clip is adapted to receive and retain the end of a flexible cable, such as a multi-strand metallic brake cable, having an enlarged ring or sleeve member permanently attached thereto. The improvement comprises providing a multiplicity of axially extending slits in the first axial end of the stamped clip which allows the bearing area for retaining the nut member against axial forces to be increased while permitting relative ease of assembly. Preferably, the bearing areas will comprise circumferentially extending radially raised ribs having a surface thereof extending radially inwardly toward said first axial end of said clip.
