<p>A rope gripping device comprises an elongate body 1 having a throughhole 5 formed to allow throughpassage of a rope 50. The rope gripping device further comprises an anchoring means 11 adjacent one end of the elongate body for securing the elongate body in position relative to a fixed object, such as a trailer, a cleat, preferably a cam 25, 27, 29, 31 or clam cleat (73, 75 fig 5), for gripping a rope 50 passed through the throughhole 5 and a rope guide 19 adjacent to the cleat for tailing the rope passing through the cleat. The device is mounted on a trailer (fig 6) by the anchoring means before a rope is tied to the other side of the trailer, led over the load and inserted into the throughhole of the device before being secured in place by the cleat of the device. By having such a rope gripping device, the rope can be tensioned with ease.</p> |
