ABSTRACT:
A cable wear guard for shielding a bight in a support cable from direct rubbing contact with the surface in an aperture such as the aperture in the flange on the underside of a rail car coupler or the aperture on the flange on a glad hand. The cable wear guard is particularly useful with the adjustable support assembly disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,519,564 dated May 28, 1985. The cable wear guard for the bight in a cable passing through an aperture in the flange on a car coupler is generally U-shaped and formed of at least relatively rigid material. Preferably, the cable wear guard has an outwardly facing groove in which the cable bight is secured with a slippage fit so as to allow for adjustment for differences in the initial lengths of the opposing sides of a bight. The wear guard for a cable bight passing through the aperture in the flange on a glad hand is likewise U-shaped but provision for cable slippage therein may not be necessary.
