GUY-WIRE TENSON EQUALIZER.
Application filed. December 10, 1927.
This invention relates to equalizers and more particularly to eqnalizers to be einployed with guy-Wires.
An object of this invention is to provide an equalizer that shall be simple in structure, inexpensive to manufacture and more readily installed than devices heretofore emiloyed for this work.
Another object of this invention is to pro vide an equalizer that shall over-come the difficulty 'usually encountered when it is desired to pull tivo or more guys to the same tension, which are attached to the same anchor rod.
These and other objects are attained by means of the device hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying` drawings, wherein,
Figure 1, is a view in elevation of an installation employing' two equalizers embodyine' the invention, and
Figs. Q and 3 are enlarged views of an equalizer embodyin the invention, taken 900 one to the other.
This invention comprises va clevis 11 of suhstantially V shape adapted to engage an c ve of an anchor rod 1?) and an eqlilalizer plate 1144 provided with a plurality of spaced ojienine's 15 for receiving' the free ends of the clevis 11 and guy-bolts 16.
"lhe openings l5 in the plate 141-, that are aihqited to cooperate with the guy-bolts 16, are preferably reanicd out to cooperate With the concaved surface of a Washer 17. The guy-bolts are provided with a threaded means 18 for tightening or loosening; the guys.
Figure 1 illustrates an installation, einploying tivo of the present equalizers, one of which is being' used With two guys, as shown at 21, and the other with three guys, as shown at 22.
Une :iinportant advantage of the present equalizer is the time saved in performing numerous complicated guying jobs and in obtaining the proper tension in each guystrand.
@ther important advantages of the present equaliz are; its simple structure, inexpen siveness to manufacture and the expedient manner in which adjustment may be made in case the anchors have crept after completion of a ob. It can be seen from the above, that Serial No. 239,237.
a line patrolman equipped with a Wrench, can quickly adjust or take up the tension in each guy-strand in a very short time as compared to the time requiredto :nljust such devices as have been heretofore employed for the purpose.
The guying of the structures in building;` Wood pole lines amount to a considerable portion of the construction expense, especiaL ly on long span work, and the present equalizer, Which is a simple inexpensive device1 that has been found by experience to save. both time and n'ioney, is considered to be a very advanced step :in this particular art.
lVhile l have illustrated and described this invention in connection with a two and three Wire consti'uction, it Will be obvious to those skilled in the art, that other changes, modifications, substitutions, additions and omissions may be made in the equalizer without departing from the spirit and scope ot the appended claims.
lV hat l claim as new and desire to secure Letters Patent on, is:
1. An equalizer comprisinpr a clevis adapted to engage` an anchor rod, a plate having' spaced openings therein for receiving; the free ends of the clevis and ojienings adjacent to the first said openings, ttor receiving guybolts and means for adjusting the said bolts.
E2. An equalizer comprising a V shaped clevis adapted to engage an anchor rod. i plate having; spaced openings therein for receiving the free ends of the clevis and Opi-inings adjacent to the first said openings for receiving' the free ends, of guy bolts counectcd to wires and means fo.' adjusting the tension of the Wires with respect to the said plate.
3. ln a guy Wire equalizer for anchoring a plurality of guy wires to a single anchor, means associated with said equalizer for independently adjusting the tension of each guy wire.
l. A guyovire equalizer comprising,- an anchor rod, a clevis adapted to engage the anchor rod, a plate. having,l spaced openings therein :for receiving the free ends of the clevis, means for fixing the clevis to the said plate., openings in the plate adjacent each of the first said openings for: receiving guybolts connected to guy-wires, the last said openings having their outer suii'faces formed for engaging' and cooperating' with the convexed side of a Washer disposed on the said guy-bolt and threaded means for adjusting the guy-bolts with respect to the said plates. guy-bolts connected to guy-wires :md :1 sepa- 5. A guy-'Wire equalizer for anchoring a rate means for adjusting the tension of euch 10 plurality of guy-Wires to a single anchor guy-Wire. comprising a substantially V shaped clevis In testimony whereof, I have hereunto 5 adapted to engage an anchor rod, a plate subscribed my name this 5th day of lDeeemA having a pair of spaced openings for receivbei', 1927. ing the free ends of the clevis and openings adjacent the first said openings for receiving EDVARD A. MACK.
