ABSTRACT:
An eyelet of high strength materials is disclosed herein having an upper end equipped with a tapered roller for movably supporting the eyelet on a cable and having a lower end equipped with a similar roller for supporting the end of the lower end of the eyelet from chaff by the cable. The eyelet is composed of stainless steel in the form of an oval-shaped rod in front elevation having a U-shaped upper end joined with a U-shaped lower end by outwardly diverging side members. A selected side member includes a spring-released latch normally biased closed to maintain the load-supporting cable captured within the eyelet between the roller. Lubricating fittings and disassembly construction for maintenance and repair is employed in mounting the rollers.
