Method for fitting a safety line cable (23) on a tensioner in which a section of the cable is crimped in a sleeve (11) formed on the tensioner, characterised in that the following operations are carried out:
- passing the cable through the sleeve (11),
- keeping the cable under tension at its end (24) projecting from the sleeve (11),
- crimping of the cable in the sleeve (11).
Tensioner for safety line, comprising means (15) for fixing to an external element at one end, and a sleeve (11) for crimping a section of the safety line cable (23) at the other end, characterised in that
- the sleeve (11) is provided with an opening hole for passing the cable through the sleeve (11),
- it comprises an opening (21) configured to allow access to the outside of the tensioner at the end (24) of the cable projecting from the sleeve (11) to ensure that it is kept under tension when the cable is crimped in the sleeve (11).
7 Tensioner according to claim 4, wherein a hollow rod (12) is mounted at the end of the sleeve (11), the cable also passing through the hollow rod (12).
Tensioner according to claim 7, wherein the rod (12) is mounted so that it performs a translatory movement opposing elastic means of return in relation to the rest of the tensioner.
Tensioner according to claim 7, comprising a duct (20) capable of guiding the end (24) of the cable between the output of the hollow rod (12) and the opening (21).
