Abstract AN INTERNALLY THREADED TURNBUCKLE WITH THREADS OF OPPOSITE HAND AT EITHER END FOR USE IN ADJUSTING THE STEERING LINKAGE OF A VEHICLE WHICH HAS STAKES OR DEPRESSIONS IMPRESSED ON ITS OUTER CIRCUMFERENCE AFTER THE APPROPRIATE LINKAGE ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN THREADED INTO IT. THE STAKES ARE PREFERABLY FORMED IN LINE WITH THE PITCH OF THE INTERNAL THREAD OF THE TURNBUCKLE AND EFFECTIVELY CHANGE THE MAJOR AND MINOR DIAMETERS THEREOF WITHOUT DAMAGING THE THREAD. THE CHANGE OF THREAD DIAMETERS INCREASES TO A CONTROLLED DEGREE, THE TORQUE NECESSARY TO ADJUST THE LINKAGE WITHOUT DESTRUCTION OF THE THREADS.
