Definitions

  • This invention relates to the area of cleating or fastening means for ropes, cables or chains and in particular to a device to effect such restraint. While the invention has many applications, for convenience sake it will be discussed here in terms of its application to restraining ropes or chain on boats.
  • the invention is a portable cleat device which includes a body having attachment means for a tethering line, said body being provided with at least one aperture opening and extending from a periphery of the body towards its interior such that the body can attach to a line passing through said aperture.
  • the number of apertures be two and that these be generally elongate in shape the arrangement being such that a line may enter a first aperture, pass across a central portion of the body and exit the body through a second aperture. It is also preferred that these apertures be located adjacent opposing edges of the body.
  • the apertures open on a same side of the body.
  • the cleat device be light in weight and be fabricated from some strong synthetic material such as injection moulded plastic however any appropriate material could be used.
  • Fig. 1 Is a perspective view of the upper surface of the cleat device
  • Fig. 2 Is a plan view of the cleat device
  • Fig. 3 Shows the cleat device attached to a line
  • Fig. 4 Shows the cleat device attaching an anchor line of a boat to a stern line
  • a cleat device 10 is manufactured from a synthetic material and in particular from an injection moulded plastic.
  • the device has a body 20 which is substantially planar in shape and has excised portions 22 on either side of the body 20 which define ridges 21.
  • the excised portions are to keep the device light in weight whereas the ridging provides strength to the device.
  • the precise arrangement of such ridges is however not a feature of the invention.
  • the body member 20 and is provided approximately centrally with an aperture 30 passing through the body, adjacent one edge of the body, through which a free end of a rope or the like can be passed and attached to the body.
  • This attachment aperture could be located any where on the body but for balance and ease of handling is preferably located centrally to the body. It is preferred however that the free-end of the rope should attach to the rope line after passing through the body by whatever means is desired.
  • Descending from one side of the body and adjacent opposite sides of the body are two symmetrical excised portions 40 which are substantially elongate in shape such thatthe body is provided with arms 27 at either side. These excised portions or slots are able to receive rope 41 or chain, as shown in Figure 3, depending on the size of the device and the purpose for which it is to be used.
  • a length of rope 50 can be attached to the device through the aperture 30 passing through the body while the other end of the rope is attached to the stern of the boat.
  • the cleating device 10 can then be simply attached to the anchor rope 41 , shown in three positions in Figure 4, where required and the orientation of the boat can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the line 50 extending from the device of the invention. Alternatively the boat orientation can be altered by varying the position 55 of device 10 on bow line 41.
  • the device 10 is provided with grip members on at least one inner face 26 of arms 27 of the device. While the device of the invention has been discussed here in terms of its application in relation to orienting an anchored boat it does however have many and varied applications relating to its use for fastening or restraining rope, chain or cable and the like.
  • the device In relation to boating the device would make the process of tying a boat up to a bollard on a pier much easier.
  • the usual methods are to either tie several hitches to a bollard or to slip an appropriate sized loop of rope over the bollard.
  • the first such method has the problem that a boat tugging on a rope line can cause it to become undone or alternatively, if a line is positively tied off it can be hard to undo when required.
  • the obvious difficulty with using a pretied loop of line is that its size has to be predetermined.
  • the device of the invention it is a simple matter to pass a line around a bollard and then attach the device where required on that line.
  • the line is not only firmly secured but the size of any resulting loop of rope can be adjusted as required.
  • a further advantage of the cleating device is that the rope used passes through the slots in its body and is thereby jammed. As a result knots do not have to be tied in the rope used and therefore by using the device the weakening effect of knots on a rope or other such line is removed. Whilst we have described herein several specific embodiments of the invention it is envisaged that other embodiments of the invention will exhibit any number of and any combination of the features previously described and it is to be understood that variations and modifications in this can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un taquet portable comprenant un corps pourvu d'un moyen de fixation (30) destiné à une ligne d'amarrage (50). Le corps présente au moins un orifice qui s'ouvre et qui s'étend depuis une périphérie du corps vers l'intérieur de celui-ci, de telle sorte que le corps peut être attaché à une ligne (41) à travers ledit orifice. De cette manière, une garde montante entre la proue et la poupe d'un bateau peut être facilement établie.
