EVALUATION OF VO HOOKS FOR HOOK FORCE RATIOS,
Abstract
The pinch force and operating cable force characteristics of three dorrance hooks and two 2-load hooks were evaluated. The force levels were observed with a varying number of rubber bands on the dorrance hooks, and the two load settings on the 2-load hooks. Finally, the operating cable force to pinch force ratios were determined for the hooks. The small dorrance hook (Model 10X) exhibited the best hook force ratio of the hooks evaluated. This ratio was 1.23 to 1 pounds of cable force per pound of pinch. (Author)
