Loghauls of thiscableclass By examining the drawings it will be seen can be used to advantage where cheapness is that the metal is integral from the upper ends demanded, and where the logs are to be carof the prongs or points to the lower edges of 4o ried over comparatively long distances, the the parts b2, that is to say, to the bottom sur- 9o cable not requiring the same accuracy of face of the attachment which rests upon the aligning of the guideways and the wheels, guide way, and therefore when a log is rest- &c., that is requisite when chains are eming upon the said prongs or points there will ployed. be no tendency for the distance between these 45 Heretofore these cable loghaul-ups have parts to be lessened. 95 consisted of the wire cable and log engaging At Cthere is a passage way or open slot exattachments secured thereto each of which attending from the front surface through to tachments was made in two halves, an upper the rear surface of the attachment, and by one and the lower one, secured together by means of this the cable can be readily in- 5o bolts, each having a semicylindrical cavity serted or removed. Ioo
' In order to bind the attachments-firmly to the cable I employ one or morev sti'rrupbolts D, the central part of which4 lies beneath the cable, and 'the legs of which pass up through apertures d in the attachment. Above the body partof theattachment there are nuts j E, E, engaging with the threaded endsof the stirrup bolt and by means of them a powerfulclamping action can be had. These nuts and the legs of thebolt lie in such positionv that the log cannot comein contact with themand therefore its downward pressure does not r`act to release the binding Of the attachment to the cable. The advantage of this attachment in comparison with those which are transversely divided into two halves on the plane running through the center of the cable willl be readily understood. The pressure or weight of the log i'sreceived' by metalwhie'hv is solid f-r'olntop'to bottom and thereforethere willl beno liability of the clamp or' attachment tO slip inl relationto the cable. To insure thatthe bolt D andthe nu-ts'E shall not come in contact with the log projections, flanges or wall'sysuch as shown at b3 may be extended upfro'm' the body part b of the attachment', whichwill also act to reinforce' or strengthen the-log engaging prongs or fingers b.
