Systems and Methods for Controlling Rope

摘要

A rope control device a main body defining a central opening and first and second side portions, projections extending from the main body, an end recess defined by the first and second projections, an end friction surface formed at a juncture of a projection and the main body, and a bar. With the bar in a first position, the first rope portion is extended through the central opening and at least partly around the bar. With the bar in a second position, the main body and the bar define first and second opening portions of the central opening and the first rope portion is extended through the first and second opening portions and at least partly around the bar. The second rope portion is arranged within the first end recess such that, when the rope is under tension, the second rope portion frictionally engages the first end friction surface.

主权项

1. A rope control device for controlling a rope defining a first rope end, a second rope end, and first and second rope portions between the first and second rope ends, the rope control device comprising:
a main body defining
a central opening, andfirst and second side portions, first and second projections extending from the main body; a first end recess defined by the first and second projections; a first end friction surface formed at a juncture of the first projection and the main body; and a bar; wherein the first side portion supports the bar for movement between
a first position in which the bar is not in contact the second side portion, anda second position in which the bar is in contact with the second side portion; when the bar is arranged in the first position, the first rope portion is extended through the central opening and at least partly around the bar; and when the bar is arranged in the second position,
the main body and the bar define first and second opening portions of the central opening, andthe first rope portion is extended through the first and second opening portions and at least partly around the bar; and the second rope portion is arranged within the first end recess such that, when the rope is under tension, the second rope portion frictionally engages the first end friction surface.
