ABSTRACT:
A rope clamp has a base and a pair of caps hingedly connected to opposite sides of the base. A longitudinally extending, rope-receiving groove is formed in each side of the base, and a similar groove is formed in each cap so that a pair of longitudinally extending, rope-receiving cylindrical bores are formed between the base and caps when the caps are closed. Upstanding spikes are positioned in each groove so that a rope in a bore is engaged by the spikes in the groove formed in the base when the caps are opened, and is further engaged by the spikes in the caps when the caps are closed. Each cap is independently hingedly mounted to the base so that one cap may be open when the other cap is closed. A catch member is secured to the base, and has teeth formed in free ends that extend in opposite directions relative to the base. Complementally formed teeth are formed in an outer surface of each cap, and these teeth engage one another when the caps are closed. The spikes associated with the grooves formed in the base are positioned on an insert member that is removably received within an insert-receiving opening formed in the base. An insert having a thicker base is inserted into the cavity when a rope of smaller diameter is to be engaged. The insert member is eliminated in a second embodiment and the spikes are eliminated in a third embodiment.
