ABSTRACT:
A handhold for a twisted strand rope comprising an elongated body of a length sufficiently long to span the palm of the hand of a user and of a circumference sufficient to be firmly grasped by the user's hand when the hand is closed. The outer surface of the body has a plurality of notches or grooves uniformly spaced therearound and at least equal in number to the number of strands in the rope, these notches or grooves being disposed at both ends and/or longitudinally of the body for individually holding a strand of the rope. A length of a rope equal to the length of the body is untwisted to separate the strands thereof so that the body can be inserted between the strands and each strand inserted or nested in a longitudinal groove or a corresponding pair of notches at opposite ends of the body. The body is retained within the rope by the natural tendency of the rope strands to assume their twisted orientation.
