ROPE-SECURING DEVICE.
Application filed March 7,
eral arrangement by which the above ob.
jects are accomplished, as well as the specific construction of the bracket.
Objects, advantages and features of the invention will be set forth in the description of the drawings forming a part of this application and in said drawings Figure 1 illustrates the manner of attaching a rope to the bracket;
Figure 2 is a detail view showing the action of the rope upon a portion of itself for securing the same, under tension, to the bracket; 7
Figure 3 is a topplan view further illustraping the manner of securing the rope; anc
Figure 4 is a front view showing the relations of the substantially vertical and horizontal projections. 7
The bracket is in this instance formed from asingle length of wire, the wire being bent to provide rearwardly vertically'spaced legs or extensions 1-2 each having a terminal eye 3 to receive the fastening devices 4. The lower extension or leg is bent to provide an intermediate substantially horizontally arranged portion 10 reinforced by bending upon itself as shown. After dou bling, the outermost portion 11 of the extension is continued forwardly, inwardly and then upwardly and outwardly, then downwardly and inwardly to form a terminal loop 15, theloop extending vertically upwardly .and the plane of the loop being substantially at right angles to the long dimension of the bracket. The loop thus formed provides downwardly convergent sides. The opposite side of the loop continues and forms the upper extension or leg 1. The leg 1 lies at a level above the horizontal projection to provide an .area 16 upon which portions of the rope act upon one an- 1927. Serial No. 173,558.
other to secure the rope under tension to the I tudinal axis of the bracket, that is of an axis longitudinaly through the extension 1 and 2. The result is that when the rope is drawn taut-1y said rope, where it engages the slanting portion 22 of the loop, is drawn inwardly as shown by the arrow D, Figure 3. The free end of the rope is passed downwardly beneath the bracket and then upwar-dly over the portion 16, and beneath the other portion of the rope and that end of the rope nearest its terminal portion is thus disposed to be clamped by the upper portion, said upper portion acting downwardly as shown at- E in Figure 2 to compress the lower rope as at 25, see Figures 2 and 3. Under these conditions, it will be seen that that portion of the rope which extends away from the bracket, and is attached at some other point, engages the loop substantially in the area represented by the numeral 22. The tendency of the stretch, due to the angular relation of the area 22 with the vertical tending to increase the compressive action.
If it is desired to put more tension on the rope A the end 30 of the rope is simply pulled in the direction of the arrow G.
I claim as my invention:
1. A bracket formed from a single length of wire and having, rearwardly vertically spaced legs terminated by eyes adapted to receive fastening devices, a forward terminal vertical loop as a reinforcement, and an intermediate horizontal portion reinforced by bending upon itself, that portion of the bracket adjacent the loop and between the loop and horizontal portion, being at a level above the horizontal projection.
2. A bracket having a forward terminal vertical loop, and an intermediate horizontal portion doubled upon itself, that portion of the bracket between the loop and said doubled portion being at a level above the doubled portion.
8. A bracket having a forward substantially vertical projection and an intermediate substantially horizontal lateral projection, that portion of said bracket lying intermediate of the vertical and horizontal portions, being at a level above the horizontal portion.
4. A bracket having a forward vertical portion and an intermediate horizontal projection, the top portion of said bracket lying intermediate oi the vertical and horizontal portions, being at a level above the horizontal portion, and a rope looped about the bracket, above, below and about the horizontal portion and horizontal projection and engaging the vertical projection on that side opposite the loop, the rope having portions superposed upon the raised top portion and that portion of the rope nearest its terminal being beneath, and that portion which extends away from the bracket engaging at that side of the loop opposite the horizontal portion.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 4th day of March 1927.
