Abstract
A jig for securing a thimble, includes a securing block, a pressing plate, a locking assembly. The securing block defines a step hole and a cutout. The pressing plate presses the thimble in the receiving slot. The pressing plate defines an avoiding hole. A pair of short sides and a pair of long sides bound the avoiding hole. The locking assembly includes a pole and an adjusting nut. The pole is inserted in the step hole and the avoiding hole. The adjusting nut includes a pair of long edges and a pair of short edges. The adjusting nut rotates on the pole to align the long edge with the short side to have the adjusting nut press the pressing plate, and rotate on the pole aligning the long edge to the long side locating the adjusting nut in the avoiding hole.
