Appl. No.:
11/331411
Inventors:
William Scott Jernigan - Birmingham AL, US
International Classification:

Abstract:
A safety coil sling for securing an industrial metal coil on a flatbed trailer having a round or elliptical primary cable attached at one end to a first anchoring chain and at an opposite end to a second anchoring chain, and a plurality of connecting cables for connecting opposite sides of the primary cable across the top of the coil, thereby securing the coil on the trailer. In an alternate embodiment, the primary cable is divided into parallel segments at the points of attachment of the connecting cables and the connecting cables are slidably attached to one of the parallel segments to allow the connecting cables to slide within a fixed area, thus providing a mechanism for relieving tension on the sling during weight shifts within the coil occurring during transport.
