ABSTRACT:
A rope clamp that quickly joins together ropes and eliminates the need for knots. The clamp has two elongate main parts that are hingedly connected together. Each part has rows of transversely aligned teeth that engage diametrically opposite sides of a pair of ropes held by the clamp when the clamp is brought into sandwiching relation to the ropes. The clamp is held closed by a latch and catch construction having more than one position of engagement, and a push button provides quick release of the latch and catch when it is intended to free the ropes. An insert member, also having transversely disposed teeth, is added to the clamp when ropes of smaller diameter are yoked together.
