Abstract

See full text

A system and method for a line shock absorbing and/or tensioning device formed from a metal rod having a central coiled portion acting as a torsion spring with two arms extending radially from the coiled portion whereby the ends are terminated with a pigtail to allow a line to be captively held inside without the need to thread the line ends through. The line, when slackened, is manipulated inside the two pigtails and routed through a third formed pocket in the centered coiled portion to form a non-linear path. As the line is stressed, the line wants to straighten, therefore causing the V-shaped arms to flex apart and absorb the resulting shock while providing elasticity and elongation to the line itself.
