| | swaged loop / eye | Explanation:
"Loops" or "eyes" in the plural, of course.
"Gaza" means a loop in the cable, also known as an "eye".
A "casquillo" is a sleeve or swage which fits over the splice forming the loop and protects it. A loop of this kind is most commonly called "swaged".
"Eslinga plana en cable de acero.
La presente invención disminuye cuantitativamente la mano de obra en este tipo de eslingas, gracias a la utilización de un casquillo convencional de aluminio (1) para prensarlo mecanicamente en las gazas u ojos (3) y así poder formar una eslinga segura con todo tipo de garantías."
