Abstract: A clamp for securing a section of rope or the like is provided. The clamp includes a link having two side members connected at a first end by a cross member and attached at an opposite end at an apex. A ring is slidably attached to the link and a finger extends from the ring. In use a loop is formed into a section of rope which is passed between the ring and the cross member and is double backed over the ring so that the finger is positioned within the loop. The rope is then pulled removing the slack in the loop thereby pulling the ring towards the cross member and compressing the loop between the ring and the cross member. As a higher degree of strain is applied to the rope the compression force applied to loop by the by the ring and the arcuate cross member is also increased. This action assures the clamp will continuously clamp the rope in a secure manner. Multiple clamps can be used concurrently to secure a rope or the like at many different points along the length of the rope.
