DEVICE AND METHOD FOR USE IN REPAIRING CABLE HIGHWAY GUARDRAILS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240044093 titled 'DEVICE AND METHOD FOR USE IN REPAIRING CABLE HIGHWAY GUARDRAILS

Simplified Explanation

The cable tensioning assembly described in the patent application includes a body with a tensioner receiver, mounting apertures, and fastener receptacles. It also has a textured channel to receive the cable and a plurality of fasteners to apply friction force to the cable. The assembly adjusts the tensioning force of the cable in response to movement of the tensioning vehicle and divides the cable into an adjustment section and a repair section.

  • The cable tensioning assembly has a body with a tensioner receiver, mounting apertures, and fastener receptacles.
  • It includes a textured channel to receive the cable.
  • The assembly has a plurality of fasteners that apply friction force to the cable.
  • The tensioning force of the cable is adjusted in response to movement of the tensioning vehicle.
  • The cable is divided into an adjustment section and a repair section.

Potential Applications:

  • Cable tensioning in various industries such as construction, transportation, and telecommunications.
  • Maintenance and repair of cables in infrastructure projects.
  • Tensioning of cables in suspension bridges or cable-stayed bridges.
  • Cable tensioning in elevators or cranes.

Problems Solved:

  • Ensures proper tensioning of cables to prevent sagging or snapping.
  • Allows for easy adjustment and repair of cables without the need for specialized tools or equipment.
  • Provides a secure and reliable connection between the cable and the tensioning assembly.
  • Reduces the risk of cable failure and associated safety hazards.

Benefits:

  • Improved cable tensioning efficiency and accuracy.
  • Simplified cable adjustment and repair process.
  • Cost-effective solution for cable maintenance and tensioning.
  • Enhanced safety and reliability of cable systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

a cable tensioning assembly includes a body. the body defines a tensioner receiver configured to couple to a tensioning vehicle, a plurality of first mounting apertures and a plurality of second mounting apertures. the plurality of first and second mounting apertures cooperatively define a plurality of fastener receptacles. at least one channel with a textured surface is configured to receive a cable. a plurality of fasteners are included. each fastener includes a first end and a second end that are received by the plurality of fastener receptacles. a friction force is applied to the cable by the fasteners and the channel. the engagement of the cable with the cable tensioning assembly is configured to adjust a tensioning force to the cable in response to movement of the tensioning vehicle. the cable tensioning assembly is configured to divide the cable into an adjustment section and a repair section.
