ABSTRACT:
A support device which is particularly adapted to join a length of rope to a structural member of a building, for example, has a body prepared for ready attachment to the structural member. Projecting outwardly from the body of the device is a set of spaced apart clips. Each clip is defined by an outer strap spaced from the device body and joined thereto by a connecting strap to form a holding area for the rope. The clips are positioned in an opposing manner so that each clip holding area faces in an opposite direction. The outer strap of each clip has an angularly offset wall. These walls are spaced apart and positioned parallel to form an opening to a rope passageway defined by alignment of the clip holding areas. During use the support device is attached to the structural member and an end of the rope length threaded through the passageway to seat in the clip holding areas and be supported horizontally therein. Where the rope length is already in place, the rope may be further supported by positioning the support device so that the rope may be placed in the passageway by passing the rope through the opening between the clips. Next, the device is rotated to seat the rope in the clip holding areas. Then the device may be attached to a further structural member. The device may be disengaged from the rope by reversing this noted procedure.
