ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for securing a braided rope to the ski tow rope handle by passing the rope through a transverse hole in the handle, passing the rope around the periphery of the handle and then inserting a portion of the end of the rope into the braided rope so that it passes back through the transverse hole in the handle. The braided rope acts in the manner of the well known Chinese finger, in that the higher the stress placed on the rope, the tighter it grasps the end of the rope that is inserted into it to prevent its detachment from the handle. To insure that the braided rope always retains some grip on the portion of rope inserted into it and to provide protection for the hands of the skier, a rubber sleeve is placed over the rope directly adjacent to the handle. In order to prevent the rubber sleeve from being displaced, a length of heat shrinkable tubing is applied to the rubber tubing and extends beyond the tubing to overlap onto the braided rope itself. The inner surface of this heat shrinkable tubing is provided with a heat sensitive adhesive to increase its hold on the rubber sleeve and the braided rope.
