Abstract
A system for adjusting a path of a wire comprises a precast pulley assembly comprising at least one precast pulley having at least first and second positions. The at least one precast pulley may be adjustable from the first position to the second position without a user touching the at least one precast pulley. A path of a wire is adjusted when disposed around the at least one precast pulley when it is in the second position instead of in the first position. In one embodiment, the precast pulley assembly comprises first and second precast pulleys disposed in an adjacent relationship with respect to one another, wherein a wire can selectively pass over one or both of the first and second precast pulleys.

A system for adjusting a path of a wire, the system comprising:
- a precast pulley assembly comprising at least one precast pulley, wherein the at least one precast pulley comprises at least first and second positions,
- wherein the at least one precast pulley is adjustable from the first position to the second position without a user touching the at least one precast pulley, and
- wherein a path of a wire is adjusted when disposed around the at least one precast pulley in the second position instead of in the first position.
A system for adjusting a path of a wire, the system comprising:
- a precast pulley assembly comprising first and second precast pulleys disposed in an adjacent relationship with respect to one another, wherein a wire can selectively pass over one or both of the first and second precast pulleys;
- and
- a support assembly configured to hold the first and second precast pulleys in a predetermined angular orientation and to enable circumferential rotation of the first and second precast pulleys.
A system for adjusting a path of a wire, the system comprising:
- a first sheave having a groove;
- a second sheave having a groove, where a front surface of the first sheave is generally flat and a rear surface of the second sheave is generally flat, such that the front surface of the first sheaves abuts the rear surface of the second sheave;
- and
- a precast pulley assembly comprising at least one precast pulley,
- wherein a wire is aligned for movement around the first sheave, then around the at least one precast pulley, and then around the second sheave.
