A rope clamp comprises a sleeve which has an axial passage in which two rope portions are inserted and which is deformed into engagement with the rope portions such that the deformed sleeve comprises a cylindrical portion of circular cross-section and a tapering end portion tapering from the circular cross-section to an oval cross-section. As described the rope portions form the eye of a rope, one rope portion extending through the clamp and the other rope portion extending into the clamp through the end portion. The other end of the clamp may be of frusto-conical shape with a circular cross-section throughout. The clamp may be pressed from an aluminium tubular blank. |
