ABSTRACT:
A compact, cleat-like, device for connecting the ends of a rope together where the rope is in tension. The device is generally planar, with two approximately flat surfaces, two approximately parallel sides and trifurcated ends. A central aperture is provided through the flat surfaces. The channels between the three end fingers are tapered, with the apices extending toward the aperture. In use, rope ends are inserted through the aperture, wrapped around two opposite channels and inserted back through the aperture. The device safely and securely maintains the connection between the rope ends. The rope can be easily removed, even with the rope in tension, by pulling one end of the rope back through the eye and unwrapping it from the channels.
