Abstract: The invention relates to a device for holding two ropes or corresponding elongated bodies together in a fixed relation to each other at a right angle or parallel to each other. The device is characterized in that it comprises two essentially identical halves (2, 11), each being provided with a recess (3, 12) into which the rope fits, and that these halves may be pressed together and be locked by means of snap locks (5, 6, 13 14) when pressed together, the axial or turning movement of the ropes in relation to each other being prevented by the force of friction, and according to a preferred embodiment, by pegs (4, 17) on the bottom of the recesses, and the separation of the ropes being prevented by the snap locks, and, according to a modification of the preferred embodiment, by a screw which extends through each of the halves of the device and thereinbetween through each of the ropes.

Abstract: Aquatic amusement device comprising a canvas held in an inflated configuration by a pneumatic overpressure inside a closed space under the canvas. The canvas has a top and a periphery and a trench full of water is provided along the canvas periphery. A support structure extends from the closed space up through the canvas supporting the canvas in the inflated configuration, with the canvas being supported in air-tight suspension from a suspension point some distance up the support structure. A water discharge device is provided on top of the support structure for directing water onto the canvas, and a water circulator is provided for circulating water from the trench in and under the canvas and along the support structure to the water discharge device. In this way, water exiting from the water discharge device flows by itself over the canvas back to the trench.
