ABSTRACT:
A cinching device for tightening a rope being restrained at opposite ends includes an elongated rigid rod-like member and first, second and third elements mounted on and spaced along the elongated rod-like member. The elongated rod-like member has a handle defined at one end. The first element defines a first surface portion around which to extend a flexible rope in a first direction. The second element defines a second surface portion around which to extend the flexible rope in a second direction being generally opposite to the first direction so as to form a section of the flexible rope into a substantially serpentine-shaped configuration thereby reducing the rope in length and taking up any slack in the rope so as to place the rope in a tightened condition. The third element defines a third surface portion around which to extend the flexible rope so as to retain the flexible rope section in the substantially serpentine-shaped configuration and thereby retain the rope in the tightened condition.
