Abstract

A barrier cable end bracket assembly for attaching a plurality of barrier cables to a concrete support column has a cable mounting bracket for supporting the plurality of barrier cables, and an opposing rear mounting plate for locking the cable mounting bracket onto the concrete support column. The assembly further includes a sleeve for positioning through the concrete support column, an anchor rod having a proximal end and a distal end, a first nut for anchoring the proximal end to the cable mounting sidewall, and a second nut for anchoring the distal end to the rear mounting plate.

Claims

1. A barrier cable end bracket assembly adapted to be anchored in a concrete support column, the assembly comprising:

a cable mounting bracket having a column mounting sidewall and a cable mounting sidewall, the cable mounting sidewall having a plurality of cable apertures;

a plurality of barrier cables, each of the plurality of barrier cables being adapted to be attached to one of the plurality of cable apertures;

a rear mounting plate having a distal aperture;

a sleeve shaped to be positioned through the support column;

an anchor rod having a proximal end and a distal end, the anchor rod being shaped to fit through the sleeve;

a first anchor means for anchoring the proximal end to the cable mounting sidewall; and

a second anchor means for anchoring the distal end to the rear mounting plate.

2. The assembly of claim 1 wherein the first anchor means is a first nut adapted to threadedly engage the proximal end of the anchor rod;

and wherein the second anchor means is a second nut adapted to threadedly engage the distal end of the anchor rod

3. The assembly of claim 1 wherein the rear mounting plate is an elongate rectangular plate.
