  • Jamming cleat for releasably holding ropes cords, cables and similar elongate articles
    Patent number: 3988810
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a jamming cleat for quickly securing the end of a rope, cable or cord. Such a cleat is disclosed in my U.S. Pat. No. 3,574,900. In that known device one end of a cord is held between the walls of a V-shaped groove and the walls are formed with ridges sloping in such a way that the greater the load on the cord the more securely is the cord held in the groove. In the present invention means are provided whereby the cord may be passed around an object and then both ends secured in the cleat. For this purpose the cleat is formed with a fairlead serving to hold the cord in a position such that one end can be engaged in the V-groove with greater certainty and also with an anchorage for the other end of the cord.
