Reefing system
Abstract
A mechanical device for receiving a cable and controlling the motion of the cable is described. The cable moves freely in one direction and movement is resisted in the opposite direction until the forces exerted on the cable exceed a predetermined amount. Exceeding the minimum amount of force permits the cable to move in the opposite direction. Diagrams of the device are included.
