Abstract

A rope grip comprising a shell for defining a first gripping surface and having a pair of planar members depending therefrom. An arm is pivotally mounted to said planar members and having a movably mounted member defining a second gripping surface. The two gripping surfaces are in a facing spaced relationship and define a passage for receiving a rope and/or cable. The second gripping surface travels in an angular field of motion with respect to the first gripping surface and causes a rope and/or cable of appropriate size to become jammed or frictionally engaged between the two surfaces. A portion of the first gripping surface is removable allowing the rope grip to be placed and/or removed from a position anywhere along the rope.
