ROPE-CLAMP.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 10, 1915.
Application filed June 8, 1914. Serial No. 843,772.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRnDRIoK W. Marlins, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rope-Clamps, of which the following is a specification and which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof.
The invention relates to a rope fastening mechanism and contemplates a device which may be employed for gripping ropes of different sizes to securely hold the same against strain in one direction with provision for also securing the loose end of the rope against strain in the opposite direction.
The object of the invention is to provide a rope clamp which is of improved construction and which is particularly adapted for use in situations wherein adjacent lengths or sections of continuous ropes of different sizes are to be independently strained, as for example in the employment of a rope for binding a load upon a wagon box when a rope of any size which is conveniently at hand is passed back and forth over the load and secured to the box at each side.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a rope clamp embodying the invention, a detail of the support to which the device is applied being shown in section, and Fig. 2 shows the clamp in front elevation with a section of rope mounted therein.
In carrying out the invention a bracket or wall plate 10 is preferably provided. In practice one of these wall plates will be located at each place where the rope, as X, is to be secured. In event the rope X is to be employed for binding a load upon a wagon, wall plates, as 10, will be permanently mounted at intervals along each side of the wagon box, as 11. To permit of the wall plate 10 being readily secured in place, it may be apertured, as at 12, for receiving attaching bolts or screws 13.
A wheel or spider 14: is rotatably secured against the front face of the wall plate 10 and a rigid arm 15, preferably formed inte ral with the wall plate 10, projects outw rdly from the plate over the wheel. The
Gopies of this patent may be obtained for five cents arm 15 constitutes an abutment shoulder or hook beneath which the rope is to be drawn in straining the same and the wheel or spider 14 cooperates therewith to grip the rope when released.
'lo permit of the device being used for gripping ropes of different size the several spokes or arms, as 16, 17, and 18 of the wheel or spider 141 are made of different lengths, each spoke being suitably proportioned to cooperate with the arm 15 in gripping a standard size of rope. The device is furthermore rendered more effective in gripping ropes of different sizes forming grooves, as 19, 20, of different widths at the outer ends of the several spokes, the longer spoke, as 16, being provided with the narrower groove.
For rotatably supporting the wheel or spider 1i, a pin 21, is passed through the wall plate 10 and through the end of a bracket arm 22 which projects outwardly from the wall plate 10 adjacent its lower edge and thence upwardly over the wheel,
Preferably the bracket arm 22 is also extended downwardly beyond the lower edge of the plate 10 to form a cleat or hook 23 upon which the loose end of the rope may be belayed after being gripped between an arm or spoke, as 16, of the wheel 14: and the arm 15. This last feature is of importance when the loose end of the rope is to be strained, as in being extended to another clamp of the form shown, as otherwise the strain upon the loose end of the rope would serve to release it.
I claim as my invention,--
In a rope clamp, in combination, a wall plate, a spider having a plurality of arms differing in length rotatably secured against the front of the wall plate, and a rigid arm projecting outwardly from the plate adjacent the spider and constituting a fixed abutment with which the several arms of the spider are adapted to selectively cooperate for gripping ropes of different size.
