Abstract:
An adaptable, line vibration damping/sag adjustment device comprising:(1) a first half shell having: (i) a first imaginary axis and a second imaginary axis perpendicular to said first imaginary axis, (ii) a right hollow region located on the right side of the second imaginary axis, (iii) a center solid region located between the right hollow region and a left hollow region located on the left side of the second imaginary axis and wherein said center solid region has a semicircular trough of uniform diameter that runs through a flat face region of said center solid region, (iv) a right solid region located between the right hollow region and a right end of the device and wherein the right solid region has a semicircular trough of uniform diameter that runs through a face region of said right solid region, (v) a left solid region located between the left hollow region and a left end of the device and wherein the left solid region has a semicircular trough of uniform diameter that runs through a flat face region of said left solid region, (vi) a first bolt hole that passes through one side of the first half shell and (vii) a second bolt hole that passes through an opposing side of the first half shell;(2) a second half shell having: (i) a first imaginary axis and a second imaginary axis perpendicular to said first imaginary axis, (ii) a right hollow region located on the right side of the second axis, (iii) a center solid region located between the right hollow region and a left hollow region located on the left side of the second imaginary axis and wherein said center solid region has a semicircular trough of uniform diameter that runs through a flat face region of said center solid region, (iv) a right solid region located between the right hollow region and a right end of the device and wherein the right solid region has a semicircular trough of uniform diameter that runs through a face region of said right solid region, (v) a left solid region located between the left hollow region and a left end of the device and wherein the left solid region has a semicircular trough of uniform diameter that runs through a flat face region of said left solid region, (vi) and wherein the semicircular troughs in the center solid region, the right solid region and the left solid region are all of equal diameter, (vii) a first bolt hole that passes through one side of the second half shell and (viii) a second bolt hole that passes through an opposing side of the second half shell;(3) a first bolt that passes through the first bolt hole in the first half shell and the first bolt hole in the second half shell and threadedly cooperates with a first nut; and(4) a second bolt that passes through the second bolt hole in the first half shell and the second bolt hole in the second half shell and threadedly cooperates with a second nut.
