Abstract: A rope adjuster device (14) is provided for allowing adjustable positioning of a load along a rope (12) extending through the device and includes a rope bite (20), a cam carrier (22), and a frame (24). The bite is open on a lateral side (32) to allow loading of the rope into the bite by moving the rope laterally with respect to the length (26) of the rope. The frame defines a connector opening (60) to receive a load connector for attaching a load to the device. The frame extends from the opening (60) to a pivot location (62) whereat the cam carrier is connected to pivot relative to the frame between an open position wherein a rope can be loaded from the lateral side and a closed position wherein the lateral side is closed by the frame to prevent removal of the rope.
