ABSTRACT:
A vibration dumping device for cables used in a diagonal stress bridge is disclosed. The dumping device includes an anchor pipe 5, an anchor flange 7, and a cable flange 9. The anchor flange 7 is secured to the anchor pipe 5, while the cable flange 9 is secured to the cable 6 in an encircling relationship. The dumping device also includes an aligning flange 8. The aligning flange 8 includes mounting portions (slotted holes) 8c which permits the aligning flange 8 to be mounted on the anchor flange 7 in an eccentric relationship therewith. The aligning flange 8 also includes mounting seats (stud bolts) 8b for visco-elastic bodies 11. The aligning flange 8 is mounted on the anchor flange 7, with the center defined by the mounting seats 8b for the visco-elastic bodies being aligned with the longitudinal center of the cable 6. The visco-elastic bodies 11 are clampedly mounted between the aligning flange 8 and the cable flange 9.
