Abstract
A cable retainer or bundling hook for use in retaining cables used in logging and, more particularly, for securing bundles of logs. The retainer is mounted on a cable to which ferrules are attached, one at one end. A first shoulder in a first passageway securely holds the end ferrule of the cable in a press fit. A second passageway substantially parallel to the first passageway has a sidewise and inclined located opening or recess which allows insertion of the cable having a further ferrule. The further ferrule is held in the second passageway by a second ferrule retaining shoulder.
