Abstract
A guide or deflecting unit for a tension member at a structural component of a structure extending outside of the cross-section of the structure. The tension member extends with a change of direction over a deflection point formed at the structural component. The guide or deflection unit is composed of a tubular shaped piece of a deformable material which surrounds the tension member and whose contour is shaped in the longitudinal direction such that its wall thickness decreases from the middle toward the ends in accordance with the curvature of the required deflection. The predetermined curvature is obtained when tensioning the tension member by the contact thereof with a wall of a straight receiving opening.
