' THEODORE THORSGN, OE SPOKANE; WASHINGTON.
ROPE-HOLDER.
To all whom a may concern: 1
Be it known that I, Tnnononn Tnonson, a subject of the King of Norway, residing at Spokane, in the county of Spokane and State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rope- Holders, of which the following is a specicord, but the simplicity and efficiency of' the device commends it for use especially as herein stated.
The invention consists essentially in a one piece holder, preferably formed of hard wood or the like'and fashioned with openings therethrough for the retention of the knotted end of a rope and to form a bight or loop to be passed around an anchoring stake, and by means of the specially constructed block or holder, the same may be used as a lever to draw and tighten the rope and hold it taut in connection with the loop, stake, and the end attached to the tent, all as will be hereinafter more specifically referred to and pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings I have illustrated one complete example of the embodiment of my invention in which the parts are combined and arranged according to the best mode I have so far devised for the practical application of the principles of my invention.
Figure 1 is an assembly View illustrating the application of the rope holder to a tent rope and showing the rope stretched between a portion of a tent and the anchoring stake.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail view of the rope and its holder, showing the operative position of the holder in fulllines, and indicating in dotted lines the manner. of draw- Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 15, 1521.
Application filed January is, lea seriai no. 351,535.
ing the rope to take up slack for securing the rope taut between the tent and stake.
Fig.3;is a longitudinal, central sectional view through the holder or wooden block.
In order toill'ustrate the use of the device I have shown or indicated at 1 a portion of a tent top, an anchoring stake 2, and the rope 3 has one end l attached to the tent in usual manner, while its other end is fashioned with a loop or bight 3 and passed around the stake 2 in customary mode.
'The holder, indicated as' a whole by the numeral 4:, is preferably of hard wood and of suitable or varied sizes, rectangular or oblong in shape, and at its upper side is provided with a neck or contracted opening 5 through which one end of the rope is passed and knotted as at 6. To permit freedom of movement ofthe rope adjacent the neck,
conical recess or opening 7 is provided, which extends through the block perpendicular to its longitudinal axis, with its larger or flaring opening at the under side of the block, opposite the smaller neck opening 5, for retaining the knot 6.
i A second opening 8 is bored, obliquely through the block providing wide open ends one of which is fashioned with an abrupt, semi-circularshoulder 9 at the outer side of the flared upper opening, and another, complementary shoulder 10 on the under face of the block is fashioned at the inner side of the vflared opening.
In the utilization of the block, one end of the rope is first passed through the flaring opening or recess 7 and the neck 5 and then knotted as at 6, after having been threaded through the passage 8 to form the loop or bight 3, and the loop is ready for attachment to the stake, it being understood that the upper end of the rope is permanently attached to the tent at l f The loop is then adjusted as to its length,
ened a distance equal to the length of the bore or opening 8 and the rope, or that por tion within the bore is frictionally clamped within the walls of the bore orpassageway 8.
At 9 and these shoulders provide for an abrupt bend in the rope 3 and its loop 3, and the full length of rope is thus held, by the block or holder in a symmetrical position or straight line from the stake to the tent. The flaring recess 7 permits free manipula tion of the block When taking up slack While the neck 5 affords a secure and firm hold for the knotted end of the rope, and similarly down the distance a between dotted lines in Fig. 2, and then, when the block is freed to position in full lines the horizontally disposed portion of the res in the bore 8 is Withdrawn from. the ength thereof to shorten the rope and take up slack.
Having thus fully describedmy invention,
What I claim is z- I y In a rope holder, a'block adapted to be arranged normally oblique to the length of a rope, said block having a conical recess extending therethrough perpendicular to its longitudinal axis to receive the knotted end of a'rope, and an obliquely disposed rope passage through said block forming elongated openings to accommodate said rope and having opposed abrupt shoulders tothe elongated openings of said passage on opposite faces of the block, V e e In testimony whereof I afliX my signature.
