Patent ID: 8769776

Claim:
A cable adjusting device comprising: a base plate having a top surface, a bottom surface, a distal end and a proximal end; a pair of walls connected with the base plate along the top surface, wherein the pair of walls each extend away from the top surface and are disposed along opposite edges of the base plate, wherein each of the pair of walls includes an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein the inner surfaces of the pair of walls form a v-groove, and wherein the inner surfaces include, a plurality of gripping ridge pairs, wherein the gripping ridge pairs extend from the top surface of the base plate toward the distal end of the base plate at a rake angle with respect to the base plate, and a locking ridge pair disposed alongside one end of the plurality of gripping ridge pairs at the distal end of the base plate, wherein the locking ridge pair partially extends proximal with the top surface of the base plate toward the distal end of the base plate thereby creating a space between the locking ridge pair and the base plate; a keeper bar extending between the pair of walls at the proximal end of the base plate, the keeper bar connecting the pair of walls such that an opening is formed between the keeper bar and the top surface of the base plate; and an attachment point disposed along the bottom surface of the base plate along at least the distal end or the proximal end.
