WIRE ROPE EQUALIZER SOCKET ABSTRACT Disclosed is a wire rope equalizer socket comprising a relatively elongated housing having first and second ends with means adjacent the first end for connecting the housing to chain means. An opening extends inwardly of the housing from the second end for the receipt of a pair of looped wire ropes with first and second wedges being positioned in the opening, each wedge having an outwardly-facing groove adapted to receive a loop of a wire rope. A first wire rope has a loop received in the groove of the first wedge and a second wire rope has a loop received in the groove of the second wedge. The first and second rope and the first and second wedges are disposed in side-by-side relation in the opening with the loops being coplanar and with the wedges being tapered toward the second end. A third grooved wedge is in the opening in bearing relation to the first and second rope loops and is tapered toward the first end. A pin is removably mounted in the housing and extends generally perpendicularly to the plane of the loops for maintaining the third wedge against longitudinal movement out of the opening but to permit lateral movement in the plane for equalizing the tension in the first and second ropes upon longitudinal outward movement of one of the loops in the opening.
