In a hitch of the type described a bar simple method of forming loops in cable in conjunction with the accompanying drawhaving a plurality of lugs formed thereon 69 I ings in which in staggered relation, said bar having its Fig. 1 discloses the invention in plan end portion bent away from the plane of view, in use as'a guy wire; the bar, but lying in a plane parallel to said Fig. 2 is a side elevation of Fig. 1. lugs,a cable secured in said end portion in The now preferred form. of invention such a manner as to be integral therewith, as I comprises a steel bar 1 with lugs 2, 321ml 4 said lugs. holding the free end of said cable formed thereon. The bar 1 is shaped as in non-slipping engagement when-a strain shown, having its end portion 5 bent away is placed on a loop formed thereby.
from the plane of the body of the bar. In 2. In a hitch of the type described a bar the end 5 is secured by any well known having a plurality of lugs formed thereon Tc I means the end of a cable 6 in such a. manner in staggered relation, said lugs having that the metal of the bar is forced into the notches cut therein, said notches in thc'outer interstices of the strands of the cable, therelugs facing inone direction, said notches in by making the cable an integral part of the the center lug facing in the opposite direcbar 1. tion, said bar having an end portion bent 2'5 The lugs 2, 3 and 4 on the body portion away'from the horizontal planeof said bar, of bar 1 are positioned as shown in a staga cable secured in said end portion in such gered relation and their faces are notched to a manner that the metal of said bar is' prevent the cable 6 from slipping out of conforced into the interstices of the strands of tact therewith. These notches are cut in said cable thereby forming an integral joint, I
' one side of the two outer lugs While the said lugs holding the free end of saidcable notch in the center lug is cut on the opposite to form a non-slipping loop when strain is V placed thereon. i In operation the cable 6 is passed around In testimony whereof, I have signed this the object to be lifted or. to which the cable specification. 1 y
