ABSTRACT:
A system and device for connecting and adjusting at least two cables is disclosed. The device includes a first elongate cavity with an upper portion having a cable receiving aperture disposed therein, a lower portion having a bracket disposed therein, and a middle portion integrally formed with, and connecting, the upper and lower portions of the first elongate cavity. A second elongate cavity is also included in the device that has an upper portion with a cable receiving aperture disposed therein. A lower portion is also included that has a rotation aperture disposed therein. The rotation aperture provides for rotation of the device when a tool is inserted therein and when a first cable is inserted into the cable receiving aperture of the first elongate cavity and a second cable is inserted into the cable receiving aperture of the second elongate cavity, thereby creating an over-center lock by moment of force that maintains tension on the first and second cables. The second elongate cavity also has a middle portion integrally formed with, and connecting, the upper and lower portions of the second elongate cavity. The device also includes a joining member integrally formed with, and connecting, the first and second elongate cavities.
