Abstract
A pulley apparatus includes a pulley wheel, support member, and retention member configured to prevent a cable from inadvertently entering gaps defined between the support member and the pulley wheel. The retention member extends inwardly from the support member towards the pulley wheel to overlap at least a portion of the gaps. A cable retention device includes the retention member and can extend inwardly from the support member and overlap at least a portion of the gap. The retention member can include a sloped surface for funneling the cable toward the pulley wheel and a bottom surface to overlap the gap.
