ABSTRACT:
A self-tightening clamp assembly may be selectively positioned along a flexible rope to provide a rigid stop thereon. The clamp assembly includes a clamp housing having a clamping surface and a movable clamp plate located therein on opposite sides of the rope. The clamp plate is urged against the rope by a lever and cam surface to clamp the rope against the clamp surface. A connecting assembly is provided at a rearward end of the lever that may be connected to the flexible rope so the lever will pivot in response to tensioning and loosening of the rope between ends. As the rope moves to a taut position, the lever automatically moves the clamp plate toward the clamp surface, tightly clamping the rope therebetween. As the rope is relaxed, the lever releases pressure against the clamp plate and therefore loosens its grip on the rope.
