I claim:
1. A clothes line anchor comprising a bracket having a base provided with means for securing one end of the same'to a post, a laterally projecting bill disposed at its other end and having its surface which is disposed next to the post beveled and having its outer end tapered away from said post, a spring leaf member having one end secured to the said base and having a laterally projecting member on its other end also provided with a beveled edge which is disposed next to the beveled edge of said bill, the outer end of said laterally projecting member on said spring being sloped away from said bill, whereby a cable, rope and the like under lateral pressure will move said spring and its laterally projecting member to allow the cable, rope and the like to be inserted and be clampingly held between the bill and said laterally projecting member on the spring.
2. A rope holding device comprising a body portion having a base provided with an arm extending therefrom, and a spaced laterally projecting portion beveled at its edge disposed next to the base, and disposed at right angles to said arm, a spring member rigidly connected at one end to the base and having a laterally projecting portion at its other end in close proximity to the first laterally projecting portion, the outer ends of said projecting portions being tapered from each other to receive the rope, the two projecting portions normally occupying the same plane in the absence of a rope therebetween, but the spring supported portion being displaced laterally by the presence of a rope between the portions to thereby cause the spring-supported portion to bite the rope with an increasing degree in proportion to the pull exerted on the supported rope.
