  • a tubular shaft having an outer threaded portion;

    a handle member having an inner, threaded bore surrounding a portion of said shaft, said handle member carrying internal threads to engage said shaft in a threadedly engaged manner permitting rotation and causing said shaft to move longitudinally relative to said handle member as the handle member rotates;

    a cable carried by said cable crimp and extending through and within said tubular shaft; and

    a cable lock positioned to hold said cable extending through said tubular shaft, whereby rotation of said handle member can cause said shaft to move longitudinally to lengthen the distance between said cable lock and said crimp held by said retaining member, to impose a tension on said cable.
