Claims7
A plural branch locking cable means comprising:
- a main cable having a distal end and a proximal end;
- a cable stop positioned at the distal end of the main cable for being disposed at the distal side of a part of an article to be secured, whereby when the cable is passed through an opening in the part of the article and the cable is moved to move the cable stop against the side of the part of the article facing toward the distal end of the cable, the cable stop thereafter prevents extraction of the cable from the opening in the part of the article;
- locking means at the proximal end of the main cable for locking the proximal end of the main cable to a support, whereby the main cable is anchored to the support;
- an auxiliary cable having a distal end for attachment to another article and a proximal end for attachment to the main cable;
- an auxiliary cable stop positioned at the distal end of the auxiliary cable for being disposed at the distal side of a part of an article to be secured, whereby when the auxiliary cable is passed through an opening in the part of the article to be secured by the auxiliary cable and the auxiliary cable is moved to move the auxiliary cable stop against the side of the part of the article facing toward the distal end of the auxiliary cable, the auxiliary cable stop thereafter prevents extraction of the auxiliary cable from the opening in the part of the article;
- auxiliary cable attachment means at the proximal end of the auxiliary cable for attaching the proximal end of the auxiliary cable at the main cable and for permitting the position of the proximal end of the auxiliary cable along the main cable to be freely adjustable.
