ABSTRACT:
A wedge socket assembly having a wedge socket, a pin for connecting objects to the wedge socket, a wedge, and a bolt for holding the wedge in the wedge socket. The wedge socket has an elongated, hollow basket of substantially rectangular cross-section. The hollow basket has a large opening at a first end, a small opening at a second end, and an interior cross-section tapering from said large opening to said small opening. Connected to the basket are a pair of jaws extending from opposite sides of the first end, and the jaws each have an opening therethrough aligned with one another, with the pin inserted through the openings and retained by a cotter pin. The wedge has a first wedge portion with a large end and a small end, and is of substantially the same shape as the interior of the basket. An extended portion is connected to the small end of the first wedge portion and has an opening therethrough, and is sized such that when the wedge is positioned within the basket the extended portion extends through the small opening. The bolt is inserted into the opening in the extended portion, and is retained in the opening by a nut. In an alternate embodiment, a forged wire rope clip connects a wire rope to the extended wedge portion through the opening.
