Rope clasp

摘要

A rope clasp device for securing a rope eliminates the need for a knot in a rope by selectively clasping and encasing at least one portion of a rope in a toothed clamp. The rope clasp device comprises a base, at least one, but generally two swinging doors, and a lock. The swinging doors are pivotably coupled to the base in order to be moved between an open position and a closed position. In the closed position, a pair of channels for passage of a rope is defined between the base and the doors. The channels are defined by a plurality of clasping teeth to retain the rope therein.

主权项

1. A rope clasp device comprising:
a base having an inner surface and an outer surface; a pair of doors each having an inner surface and an outer surface and pivotably attached to the base, each door pivotable with respect to the base between an open position and a closed position wherein the inner surface of the respective door is confrontingly aligned with the inner surface of the base; first and second channels, each formed between the inner surface of the base and the inner surface of one of the pair of doors when the respective door is in the closed position, the channels including a plurality of teeth adapted to engage a rope; and a locking mechanism adapted to selectively rotate about a single pivot point to simultaneously lock both of the pair of doors and the base in the closed position.
