ABSTRACT:
An easily installable, robust device capable of securing and supporting cable even under extreme weather and loading conditions. The device supports cable during and after stringing of the cable. The device is easily adaptable to accommodate a large range of cable diameters and can be mounted to a variety of support structures.
The device includes a body and cap formed via die casting. A non-machined hinge mechanism that is die cast as a portion of both the body and the cap connects the same and allows the device to be mounted as a single unit to a support structure. A two piece grooved elastomer bushing seats in the body and cap to surround and cushion the cable extending through the device. By altering the size of the grooves of the bushing, various diameter cable can be accommodated.
Side walls having windows formed on the body of the trunion help facilitate distribution of the load of the cable. The tunion body also includes a non-threaded hole that may be used in conjunction with a fastener such as a lag bolt or a double arming bolt to secure the trunion to a support structure.
