Mooring cleat with open design for non-threaded entry

摘要

A mooring cleat with open design for restraining a line and for attaching a free end of the line, the mooring cleat having an overlapping horn design with an angled slot that allows a line/rope into the device at any desired position along the line, wherein the cleat restrains the line against static pull in nearly any three-dimensional direction.

主权项

1. A mooring cleat with open design for restraining a line and for attaching a free end of the line, the mooring cleat consisting:
an elongated base plate; a first horn extending vertically from the elongated base plate, the first horn consisting:
a first substantially cylindrical bottom portion extending vertically from the elongated base; anda first elongated top portion attached to the first substantially cylindrical bottom portion, the first elongated top portion having a front end and a rear end, the first elongated top portion extending parallel to a longitudinal axis X; a second horn extending vertically from the elongated base plate, the second horn consisting:
a second substantially cylindrical bottom portion extending vertically from the elongated base; anda second elongated top portion attached to the second substantially cylindrical bottom portion, the second elongated top portion having a front end and a rear end, the second elongated top portion extending parallel to said longitudinal axis X, wherein the first elongated top portion and the second elongated top portion extend towards each other so that respective front ends of the first elongated top portion and the second elongated top portion overlap in a non-contacting manner, having an angled slot therebetween.
