Abstract:
1. A tension assembly device, comprising: a first plate; a second plate spaced apart from and attached to the first plate by at least one support member; a first connector attached to the first plate for coupling to an anchor; a second connector for coupling to a structure to be secured by the anchor; a spring carrier having a first end and a second end; a spring having a first end coupled to the first plate and a second end coupled to the first end of the spring carrier, the second end of the spring carrier slideably extending through the second plate and attached to the second connector, so as to compress the spring when tensile force is exerted between the structure and the anchor; and at least one visual indicator disposed at a position along the length of the at least one support member to indicate that the spring is compressed an amount that corresponds to a specific tensile force exerted between the structure and the anchor.
