ROPE-END nnvron.
Application filed July 11,
This invention relates to rope end devices and is particularly adapted for use in connection with tow ropes such as are employed in. connection with motor vehicles, the principal object being to provide an end for such ropes that is simple in construction, easily operated and effective in use. 1 Another object is to provide an end for a tow rope which may be securely fastened to an'end of the rope portion thereof by a simple and quick operation and to which the tow rope may be simply, quickly and effectively secured to form a loop in the same.
A further object is to provide a rope end device which may be threadably clamped to an end of a rope and is provided with a helical end portion with which the rope may be quickly and effectively engaged to form a loop in the same.
The above being among the objects of the present invention the same consists in certain features of construction and combinations of parts to be hereinafter described with reference to the accompanying drawing, and then claimed, having the above and other ob jects in view.
In the accompanying drawing which i1- lustrates a suitable embodiment of the present invention and in which like numerals refer to like parts in both views,
Fig. 1 is a side view of my rope end device shown secured to the end of a tow rope and illustrating the manner in which such tow rope may engage the same to form a loop in the tow rope.
Fig. 2 is a view of Fig. 1 from the right I hanril edge of the sheet as viewed in the jeet such as an axle, bumper or the like, a
diiiicult, tedious or unhandy operation must be gone through.
The principal object of providing the device herein shown and claimed is to provide an end for a rope that may be quickly and securely fastened to the same and with which the rope may be quickly and securely engaged to form a loop. As shown in the drawing the device comprising the present 1927. Salem. 204,872.
invention comprises a sleeve member 10 having an end wallll, it being open at theend opposite the wall :11 and having its walls adjacent the open end internally threaded. An opening 12 is provided in the end wall 11 eccentric to the axis of the sleeve. 10. Another opening 13 is provided in the side walls of the sleeve 10 slightly spaced from the bottomwall 11 and on the opposite side or" the sleeve 10 from the openin 12.
'Threadably-received within the threaded end of the sleevev 10 is amember comprising the threaded portion 14 and tapered end 15. In practice a rope such as 16 is'inserted through the opening12 into the interior of sleeve 10 and out through the opening 13 a short distance as indicated in Figfl. The
member 1 1 is then threaded into the sleeve- 10 untll the tapered end 15 bears tightly down against the rope 16 causing the same to be clamped between the bottom of the tapered end 15 and the end wall 11, and also jamming it tightly between the'edge of the tapered end 15 and the 'lowered'ge of the opening 13, thus securely and effectively] clamping the rope 16 to the device. V The outer end of the member 14 is formed to provide a heavy helical coil 17 preferably having more than one c0nvolution,.each convolution being spaced fromthe adjacent convolution by distance preferably slightly greater than the diameter of the rope 16.
In practice this device is employed in conuection with a tow rope in the following manner: A tow rope is provided having a device as above described secured to each end thereof and one end of the tow. rope is 'securedto the object to be towed and the other end is secured'to the object in which is to do the towing. The method of securing each end to its respective object is as follows: Considering, as a means of illustra tion, that the member 18 shown in the drawing is a part of the object to be towed or which is to do the towing, one end of the tow rope is slipped over the same and brought back on itself under the member 18. The
successive positions shown by the dotted lines b and 0, respectively, in the drawing, and then pulled tight. This places the rope 16 above the member 18 Within the center of the helix 17, thus forming aloop in the end of the tow rope enclosing the member 18. The operation is then repeated at the other end I of the tow rope and the rope is in position to tow the-particular object necessary, In order to release the tow rope from the member 18, fthe' operation of placing the rope 16"within the center of the helix 17 is reversed, thus bringing the rope 16 out of the he1iX 17 1 after which the tow rope may be pulledaway from the member 18.
It will be apparent from the above description that notonly'is the device herein shown, and 1 described? readily attachable to V theend ofthe rope 16, butrit also provides a construction withwhich the rope 16' may cooperatein an easy, simple and effective manner to-form a loop in the same about a particular member or object.
Althon, ;hI have described this device for usein connection with tow ropes for motor vehicles and the lilie,*it is 'to be understood 7 appended claims.
1-.. A device for securement to rope ends comprising a me1nber having side walls and an" end 'wall, said end wall provided with an ,opening gec'centrie to said sidewalls, said side wallsprovided with an opening remote from the first mentioned opening, and a plug threadably engaging said member provided withan end portion movable into ad'- acent-. relationship with both of 'said open- 2'. A devicefor securement to a rope comprising 'a" cup shaped member provided with an opening in the endwall thereof eccentric to the side walls thereof, said side walls being provided with a second openmg spaced from said end wall and positioned on the opposite side of the said member from the firstmentioned opening, said openings providing passage for a rope through the same, and a second member threadab-ly engaging the inner walls of the first mentioned .volution.
1. In combination, a cup shaped member provided with a pair of openings therethrough, one of said openings being in the closed end of said cup and eccentric to the axis thereof, a rope extending through said openings, and a second member received within said cup shaped member and axially adjustable in respect thereto whereby to clamp said rope between the same and said cup shaped member, the second member being provided with a helix at one end thereof, the con'volutions of which are separated by a distance substantially not less than the diameter'of'said rope. V
5. In combination, an interiorlythreaded cup-shaped membe provided with an eccentric opening in its closed end and a second opening in a side wall thereof diametrically opposite the first mentioned opening and spaced from said closed end, said openings provding a passage for a rope, a rigid helix,
and a threaded end on said helix receivable in said member, said end co-operating with said member to provide three projections adapted to clampingly engage a rope passing through said openings.
