DEFINITION

Classification: 74/501.5

(under subclass 500.5) Devices comprising means for maintaining an established static stretch or pull in the flexible elements, effective upon change in said stretch or pull, for concurrently restoring the same to the established value.

(1) Note. Many of these devices correct the change in tension resulting from a change in elongation of either the flexible element and/or the system mounting, due to variations in temperature.
