Abstract
A grip block assembly for gripping cables or other elongated members has a substantially hollow frame member having openings in the walls thereof to allow an elongated member to pass therethrough. First and second lever arms pivotal on the same axis are adapted to be pivoted in a scissoring action to grip a portion of the elongated member and to force it into contact with a gripping surface on an actuator block which is reciprocally movable within the hollow frame member. The actuator block has depending members which contact the lever arms for causing them to pivot with respect to each other, and a captive bolt held in place by a cap on the frame functions to move the actuator block.
