<p>A tensioning device (10) for providing tension to a length of running cable or line (22) (e.g., wire rope) as it is being wound onto a drum. The tensioning device has a tubular housing (12) in two longitudinal halves (30), the tubular housing halves hingeably joined along one set of adjacent edges by a hinge assembly (40) and closeable along the second set of adjacent edges by a clamp assembly (42). A removable inner sleeve (16) for receiving and compressing stock in two longitudinal halves, each sleeve half (60) closely received in and lines the interior surface of each tubular housing half (30). The inner sleeve contains an axial bore (62) equally along its length between the two sleeve halves. The combination of the hinge and clamp assemblies closes the housing halves, compressing the inner sleeves. Anchor rings (80) are mounted on the housing for fixing the device against movement.</p> |
