ABSTRACT:
Axial slots are provided within threaded ends of connection rods which are oppositely threaded into axially aligned tapped bores within longitudinally spaced end walls of an elongated hollow frame turnbuckle body. Elongated lock plates are pivotally mounted, respectively, at one end thereof to the connecting rod, within the axial slots. The lock plates have limited rotation between a first axially aligned position with the axis of the connection rods and a second position at some angle thereto. In the second position the end of the lock plates project radially outwardly of the connection rod slots into contact with a side wall of the elongated hollow turnbuckle body to prevent rotation of the turnbuckle body relative to the connection rods.
