J OHAN EDWARD GAMALIELSON, OF KAUMANA, TERRITORY OF HAWAII CABLE-SUPPORT SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent N 0.707314, dated August 19, 1902.
Application filed August 24, 1901. $erial No. 73,141. (No model.)
To ctZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, J OHAN EDWARD GAMA- LIELSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kaumana, in the district of Hilo, Territory of Hawaii, have in vented certain new and a wire cable A to its supporting-posts, (not.
shown,) whereby said cable is supported above ground for transportation purposes as, for instance, the transportation of sugarcane from the cane-fields to the sugar-mill some distance away, and for which purpose the invention is extensively used. Hitherto in the use of cables for this and other trans-.
portation purposes there has been constant annoyance from the slipping down of the cable from its supporting-posts, and this has entailed much additional labor and inconvenience in the operation of a plant. By my construction this difficulty is whollyover-- come and remedied, and the sheave which carries the load is enabled to pass without obstruction.
To these several ends I employ a suitable head B, which serves as a support 'or carrier for the cable and which has the peculiar shape shown in Fig. 4. As here shown, said head has a circular hole 2 through the center of its head portion proper and longitudinal grooves 3 in the opposite edges thereof for the cable to lie in, While its integral projecting portion 4 is narrower somewhat than the main head portion having said grooves and is equipped with a clip or yoke O, engaged over cable A and firmly secured by pins 5 and keys 6 through said head. Threaded bolts would serve the same purpose. The clip or yoke O presses the cable-head upon the flat edge of the bead projection 4 and holds it securely there, while ners of the head are rounded ofi at b and b to prevent chafing on the cable.
D is an arm having a cylindrical projection d, on which hole 2 in head B is engaged and wherein the engagement is free enough to permit rocking of the head. This arm is constructed with holes to fasten it firmly to 'a post, from which it projects laterally far enough to get the desired clearance for the causing it to wear off at the point of contact in a very short time. This made transporta- .tion by cable very expensive.
What I claim for my invention is a device capable of holding a wire cable very securely to its supporting-posts when suspended above the ground for transportation purposes without obstructing the passage of the load or the sheavecarrying the load, and being made on the eccentric principle it gives sufficient play to the cable to allow the same to vibrate when in use. At the same time it is so simple that it cannot get out of order and so strong and compact as to be almost unbreakable. This contrasts very decidedly with devices I have'seen with special means to allow for vibration of the cable and which the weight of the load and the vibration of the cable would cause to slip apart, and after having been put on again repeatedly would fail altogetherto hold the cable and become useless.
What I claim is- 1. A support for cables comprising a head with a grooved edge lengthwise and a central opening for a support, and provided with an extension at one end, a cable resting on the upper edge of the head and extension and a clip over the cable locked on'theextension and confining the cable on said support, substantially as described.
2. A supporting-head for cables having a head with a central hole and an arm in said hole on which the head is loosely mounted, said head having grooves lengthwise in its opposite edges and adapted to be reversed, and
provided with an extension at one end concable and the said extension and holding the structed to receive a clip for confining a cacable in place, substantially as described.
