ABSTRACT:
A device is described which operates as a "mechanical fuse" in a guy arrangement such that when loading forces on the guyed structure exceed a predetermined level, the device will add length to the guy arrangement. The device includes two plates coupled by a hinge bolt and a shear bolt. When the force exceeds the predetermined level, the shear bolt is severed by the plates allowing the plates to "scissors" open about the hinge bolt.
