Lockable safety turnbuckle

A lockable safety turnbuckle comprising:

• an elongated body (200) having first and second receiving holes (310, 312), the elongated body extending between a first distal end and a second distal end, wherein each distal end comprises an internally threaded bore;
• a first connection rod (206) and a second connection rod (208), each having a threaded end and a terminal end (210, 212), respectively,
• the first connection rod (206) adapted to be threaded coupled to the elongated body (200) at the first distal end and the second connection rod (208) adapted to be thread coupled to the elongated body (200) at the second distal end through the respective threaded ends of the first and second connection rods, wherein the first connection rod (206) and the second connection rod (208) are configured to extend out of or contract into the respective distal ends of the elongated body (200), simultaneously, when the elongated body (200) is rotated in a given direction;
• a first locking sleeve (202) adapted to slide over the elongated body (200) from the first distal end of the elongated body (200);
• a second locking sleeve (204) of equal length to the first locking sleeve adapted to slide over the elongated body (200) from the second distal end of the elongated body (200), the first and second locking sleeves (202, 204) each having first and second receiving holes (302, 306, 304, 308), respectively,
• wherein in a first configuration, the first and second locking sleeves (202, 204) are positioned adjacent to one another and covering the elongated body (200) substantially from each the first and second distal ends and the elongated body (200) is capable of rotating, and in a second configuration, the first and second locking sleeves (202, 204) are slid apart from one another to cover the respective terminal ends (210, 212) of the first and the second connection rods (206, 208) and the elongated body (200) is locked from rotating.
