Tension Indicator-Turnbuckle.

Abstract

The patent application describes a turnbuckle which permits its effective, quick, and easy use at a desired preselected tension load by virtue of an integrated tension indicator. When the desired preselected tension load is applied to the turnbuckle, a gap in the integrated tension indicator closes. A method of manufacturing a preferred embodiment of the tension indicator-turnbuckle from elastic material is also discussed.
