A coupling link (1) for resisting extremely high tension loads has an elastomeric core (28) surrounded by oppositely wound helical windings (8, 9). At one end of the link the windings (8, 9) are taken round a first bead ring (11) of which the minimum diameter is as great as the diameter of the wound core (28) while at the other end they are taken round a second ring (23) of which the maximum diameter is no greater than the diameter of the wound core (28). This permits the link (1) to be secured at one end to a cable passing through the second bead ring (23) and terminating in a flared end (27), and secured at the other end by a ring (16) which grips the windings (8, 9) between itself and the first ring (11). |
