ABSTRACT:
A rope lock intended for preventing a rope (13) inserted therein from being moved in a certain direction therethrough by a pulling force in the rope. The lock is primarily intended for use as a sheet lock or a winch unloading lock on sailing boats. The lock has an abutment (4), an operating member (6) arranged pivotable about a first pin (7) in relation to the abutment and a locking member (10) arranged pivotable about a second pin (11) relative to the abutment. The locking member has a thrust portion (12) which forces the rope towards the abutment with a thrusting force in the active position, but not in the inactive position. The locking member also has a contact portion (14) for generating at least a portion of this thrust force. The lock is taken between active position and inactive position by pivoting the operating member. Said member has an operating position (9) which is eccentric relative to the first pin, and which is adapted for providing a torque about the second pin, at least in the active position, such that the rope is held between the abutment and the thrust portion.
