Float tether terminator

A flexible terminator used as a terminal connector between the ends of a tether line and the ballast or a float for the construction of a tethered breakwater unit. One end of the terminator has a unique configuration which receives the end of the tether line in such a manner that the tether line is...

description A flexible terminator used as a terminal connector between the ends of a tether line and the ballast or a float for the construction of a tethered breakwater unit. One end of the terminator has a unique configuration which receives the end of the tether line in such a manner that the tether line is locked into attachment to the terminator without the use of a conventional knot arrangement. The terminator has a flexible central neck portion which receives the flexion between the floats and the ballast due to the wave motion in the water, eliminating the significant fatigue and normal fiber abrasion experienced by the tether line when tied to the ballast by a typical knot. The tether line is in axial alignment with the central neck portion of the terminator, so that the pendulum action at the attachment points between the tether line and the float and the ballast are transferred to the central portion of the terminator.
