Abstract:
A knotless securing device in combination with a rope comprising a main shaft having a first end and a second end, a loop extending from said first end of said main shaft, a loop extending from said second end of said main shaft, a fork connected to said loop extending from said first end, said fork having two tines having a crotch such that said crotch formed by said tines is normally substantially adjacent to said main shaft, and a rope doubled over at one end thereof to create a fold and a doubled-over section, wherein said fold is placed over said fork and through said loop extending from said first end, said doubled-over section is wrapped around said main shaft multiple times, and the remainder of said rope is passed through said loop extending from said second end such that the frictional forces between said rope and said main shaft prevent said rope from pulling off the knotless securing device.
