Abstract
A stabilizing apparatus and method according to which a force is applied to a line to place the line in tension and stabilize a component associated with the line, thereby facilitating the aiming of the component.
Claims20
Apparatus comprising:
- a line;
- and
- means extending from the line for receiving a force so that the force is applied to the line via the means;
- wherein the apparatus has a stabilizing configuration in which:
- the line is connected to a structure;
- the connection between the line and the structure resists the force applied to the line to place the line in tension;
- and
- the tension in the line stabilizes a component associated with the line to facilitate the aiming of the component.
The apparatus of claim 11 wherein the connecting means comprises a loop having an adjustable diameter.
A method comprising:
- connecting a line to a structure;
- applying a force to the line wherein the connection between the line and the structure resists the force to place the line in tension;
- and
- aiming a component associated with the line wherein the tension in the line stabilizes the component to facilitate the aiming.
Apparatus for stabilizing a component to facilitate the aiming thereof, the apparatus comprising a line connectable to a structure and associated with the component wherein the line is placed in tension to stabilize the component when the line is connected to the structure and a force is applied to the line.
