ABSTRACT:
A line ender for use in coupling an end choker line to a hauling line in a log-hauling system. The ender is formed of a unitary body having an elongate, axially extending chamber which terminates at upper and lower seats for nubbins located at the ends of the hauling and choker lines, respectively. The two lines are received through bores in associated ends in the body. An opening on one side of the ender body is dimensioned to allow the main line nubbin to move therethrough into its seat. An opening on the other side of the body is longitudinally aligned with the lower portion of the first-mentioned opening, allowing a choker nubbin to be passed transversely through the body with the hauling line nubbin in its seat. An entry slot on the lower portion of the body extends from one of the openings to the lower bore in the body in a path which revolves about a quarter of the circumference of the body, providing entry of the choker line into the bore at the lower end of the body.
