ALBERT LEE REGAN, OF XENIA, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO THE HOOVEN & ALLISON COM- PANY, OF XENIA, OHIO, .A CORPORATION OF OHIO.
TOWROPE.
Application led February 24, 1921. Serial No. 43972472.
To all whom it may concern.:
Be it known that I, ALBERT LEE REGAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Xenia, in the county of Greene and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Towropes, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to tow ropes, such as maybe used for automobiles and the like. It is an object of the invention to produce a tow rope, capable of being quickly attached and detached from an automobile, and one in which the attachment is quickly releasable no mattei' how much strain there has been imposed upon it.
In the drawings which represent an illustrative embodiment of the invention;
Fig. 1 is a side view of one end of the tow rope, Fig. 2 isa plan-view thereof,
Fig. 3 is a perspective of the cleat formking a part of the tow rope, and
Fig. 4 is a view of one end of the tow rope on a reduced scale, showing the rope in a position to be attached to an object.
As shown in the drawings, an intermediate part of the rope 1 is threaded through an aperture 2, in a cleat comprising a bar 3, and a slot 4, open on one side, and terminating in the arms 5. The end of the rope is provided with a loop 6. In applying the device, the cleat is threaded through the loop and the legs of the loop are then placed in the slot 4, being confined therein by the arms 5. This arrangement, in effect, inserts a bend or loop in the intermediate portion of the rope through the loop 6. Tension on the rope causes the bend 1 to bear downd wardly (Fig. 1) and the legs of the loop 6 to bear upwardly against the cleat. 40
Upon the release of tension, the device may immediatelyy be removed and the cleat passed through the loop 6, leaving this loop free, in the manner shown in Fig. 4.
Having now described my invention, I 46 claim Y In combination with a rope, a cleat comprising a C shaped member having inwardly facing bearing surfaces intermediate its endsY and an eye formed integral 50 therewith, the lower bearing surface of said eye being offset above the bearing surfaces between said ends, all of said bearings surfaces being relatively broad and arranged to permit sliding engagement with a ropefwhe-n not under tension.
In witness whereof, I hereunto subscribe my name this 18 day of Feb., A. D., 1921.
ALBERT LEE REGAN.
