ROPE GRIPPING DEVICE

摘要

The embodiment of the invention disclosed herein is directed to a rope lock assembly having a body member wherein there is provided a plurality of movable arm means which have gripping end portions to engage a rope passing therethrough. The gripping end portions urge the rope against the interior side walls of the body for restraining the rope from movement in either direction therethrough. A release tab or lever extends from the body and is manually operated to remove the gripping means from engagement with the rope to allow the rope to be pulled in either direction through the body. Release of the manually operated release means will allow resilient biasing means within the rope lock assembly to urge the gripping members back into engagement with the rope to prevent movement of the rope in either direction.
