Elevator load bearing termination assembly

A socket for securing an end of an elongated load bearing member, the socket comprising:

• two first socket members each comprising a separate and distinct piece that at least partially form a socket;
• two second socket members each comprising a separate and distinct piece, the second socket members are spaced apart from each other for receiving a load-bearing member between the second socket members, and each second socket member is rigidly fixed to at least one of the two first socket members, wherein the two first socket members each comprise a locking feature and the two second socket members each comprise a corresponding locking feature to secure the two second socket members to the two first socket members, wherein the locking feature comprises recesses that respectively extend at least partially into each of the two first socket members and the corresponding locking features comprise tabs that respectively extend from each of the two second socket members into respective ones of the recesses, wherein the recesses of at least one of the two first socket members comprise first openings arranged along a first plane and second openings arranged along a second plane and that is transverse to the first plane;
• and
• a wedge located between the second socket members, the wedge having an associated wedge angle that is different from an angle between the first plane and the second plane.
