Traction force applying apparatus and method of using the same

摘要

A traction force applying apparatus includes a frame that has a first support bar, a second support bar and a third support bar. The second support bar is fixedly connected to the first support bar adjacent to a first end thereof. The third support bar is fixedly connected to the first support bar near a second end thereof. A first set of plurality of hooks are fixedly attached to a first side of the first support bar. A second set of plurality of hooks are fixedly attached to a first side of the second support bar. A one-way tensioning cleat is fixedly connected to the first support bar. The apparatus also includes a rope that has a first end and a second end. The first end of the rope is selectively connectable to one of the plurality of hooks in the first set and the second set. The rope extends through the cleat to place a desired tension on the rope between the cleat and the first end of the rope. The traction force applying apparatus can be used alone or in combination with a traction table.
