Cable Tensioning System
A cable rail barrier is provided which includes one or more cables that extend between the two or more posts and a cable tensioning system. The cable tensioning system secures and tensions the at least one cable of the one or more cables to the first post. The cable tensioning system includes a tensioner housing. The tensioner housing is linearly movable in a first direction and a second direction. The tensioner housing includes a tapered housing component. The tensioner housing includes a threaded housing component. A clamp jaw fits into the passageway of the tapered housing component. A spring exerts a bias force on the clamp jaw to bias the clamp jaw in the first direction within the tapered housing component. The spring exerts the bias force on the clamp jaw to provide a grip on the end portion of the at least one cable of the one or more cables. Movement of the tensioner housing in the second direction when the at least one cable of the one or more cables is held by the clamp jaw pulls the at least one cable of the one or more cables taut and tensions the at least one cable of the one or more cables. Movement of the tensioner housing in the first direction causes the tensioner housing to move against the bias force of the spring to allow the at least one cable of the one or more cables to be released from the clamp jaw.
