Abstract: A rope or line clamping device, including an assembly of two interfit tubular molded plastic members each having an internal web which are juxtaposed with each other and formed with elongated holes offset from the rotary axis of the members so that the holes progressively become more misaligned upon relative rotation of the members in a direction reducing the overlapping of the two holes, with a ratchet mechanism holding the members in relatively rotated positions to hold the rope or line segments clamped together until the ratchet mechanism is selectively released allowing reverse relative rotation.

Abstract: A rope or line clamping device, including an assembly of two interfit tubular molded plastic members each having an internal web which are juxtaposed with each other and formed with elongated holes offset from the rotary axis of the members so that the holes progressively become more misaligned upon relative rotation of the members in a direction reducing the overlapping of the two holes. A ratchet mechanism holds the members in any relatively rotated position to hold rope or line segments inserted into the holes clamped together until the ratchet mechanism is selectively released allowing reverse relative rotation. In a second embodiment two sets of smaller holes are provided to separately clamp two rope or line segments.

Abstract: A line length adjustment device includes a strap having a rope loop attached to one end, the other end wound up on a winder core in a housing which has a rope loop at an end opposite a slot receiving the strap. A gripper element normally engages the strap to lock it in any adjusted length, which is manually releasable to allow unwinding of the strap.

Abstract: A collapsible two tier support as for use in camping dishwashing is formed by four uprights connected by pivoted cross brace sets and having a fabric panel defining on upper support connected to the tops. Additional cross brace sets support a second fabric panel at a lower level adjacent the uprights. The entire assemblage is collapsible by pivoting action of the cross brace members.
