Abstract:
1. An impact-reduction box for reducing the impact of cables on a machine when the cables move undesirably and for reducing wear and tear on the cables, the cables being connected to the machine, the impact-reduction box comprising: a roller frame subassembly comprising: a plurality of spring box subassemblies, each spring box subassembly of the plurality comprising: wherein, when the impact-reduction box is mounted on the machine and the cable passes through the at least one cable pass-through space, when the cable moves undesirably, the cable will impact one of the rollers of the plurality and, therefore, assert a force on the roller such that the force will be asserted on the roller frame subassembly, the roller frame subassembly will thereafter move in response to the force and move relative to each spring box subassembly of the plurality, such that the plurality of roller frame support blocks will move against the plurality of springs, in which case, the plurality of springs will react to the plurality of roller frame support blocks to stabilize the roller frame subassembly, such that the cable's impact on the plurality of rollers will not be fully felt by the machine.
