      <title>ANTI TWO-BLOCKING DEVICE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/62401</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The patent relates to a fail-safe cable cutter device which prevents the release or loss of an object lifted by a cable through a pulley in the event the object accidentally strikes the pulley and is lifted beyond its safe load condition; i.e., the object is 'two-blocked'.]]></description>

      <title>CABLE BRAKE AND LOCK</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/50659</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A cable brake and lock device to control the release of a mooring cable comprises a spring-biased piston abutting an elastic brake element, with the cable passing through both. An initial, preselected force is applied by the spring to the piston and the brake element, causing the element to lock onto the cable.  When the force of the ambient, hydrostatic pressure exceeds that of the spring, the spring is compressed, releasing the piston from the elastic brake element to permit the cable to run freely.  Any decrease in the ambient pressure will permit the piston to again contact the brake element to lock the cable. (Author)]]></description>
