ABSTRACT:
A cleat for fastening a rope comprises a head and a stem extending downwardly from the head. The head has four notches demarcating two side projections and two end projections. The side projections extend respectively from opposite sides of the head. The end projections extend respectively from opposite ends of the head. Each notch opens outwardly and is generally V-shaped so that a rope can be wedged in such notch. The rope can be fastened to the cleat by passing the rope upwardly through one notch, pulling the rope along one side projection, passing the rope downwardly through another notch, pulling the rope along one end projection, passing the rope upwardly through another notch, pulling the rope longitudinally along the other side projection, and passing the rope downwardly through the other notch, so that the rope is wedged in each notch and is self-tightening therein.
