ABSTRACT:
An anchor (100) for securing a rope (215) while holding tension comprises conjoined hook (105), foot (120, 125), and knee (115) sections. Both feet of the anchor are attached to a surface (200) where a first foot (120) forms one or more wedges (225, 230) with the surface. A rope from an object to be secured (220) passes beneath the knee, around the first foot and is secured by a knot (400) to the shank (110) of the hook. The first wedge (225) secures the rope and keeps it from slipping while the knot is tied. In an alternative embodiment, only one foot (120) is attached to the surface. This permits slidable entrance of the rope from the side of the anchor. The result is a firm anchorage which to which a rope can be fastened without the need for strength or dexterity on the part of the user.
