摘要

A device adapted to be fastened to a wire, a cable, a cord, or a similar flexible elongated element. The device comprises a base member or plate on which a preferably cylindrical element engaging member is mounted so as to be rotatable in one direction, and means, such as a ratchet mechanism, are provided for preventing rotational return movement of said engaging member. A transversely extending channel or slot in which part of said elongated element may be inserted, is defined in one end surface of the element engaging member, and when rotated in said one direction the wire or elongated element is wound around the cylindrical engaging member.
