Patent ID: 7784432

Claim:
A quick-release lasso eye comprising: a spring-memory eye line ( 1 ) with an rope-end eye-line flange ( 2 ) positioned removably in a rope-end receptacle ( 3 ) of a quick-release channel ( 4 ) positioned opposite and parallel to a line-anchor aperture ( 5 ) in an eye base ( 6 ); the eye base ( 6 ) being made of suitably hard, lightweight and strong material having a rope-attachment aperture ( 7 ) intermediate and parallel to the quick-release channel ( 4 ) and the line-anchor aperture ( 5 ); the spring-memory eye line ( 1 ) having a spring memory for positioning a release end ( 8 ) of the spring-memory eye line ( 1 ) in the quick-release channel ( 4 ) parallel to an anchor end ( 9 ) of the spring-memory eye line ( 1 ) with the rope-end eye-line flange ( 2 ) being positioned in the rope-end receptacle ( 3 ) of the quick-release channel ( 4 ) for arresting side travel of the release end ( 8 ) of the spring-memory eye line ( 1 ) out of the quick-release channel ( 4 ); an anchor end ( 9 ) of the spring-memory eye line ( 1 ) being anchored rigidly in the line-anchor aperture ( 5 ) for spring-positioning the release end ( 8 ) of the spring-memory eye line ( 1 ) in the quick-release channel ( 4 ) parallel to the anchor end ( 9 ) of the spring-memory eye line ( 1 ); and a spring memory of the spring-memory eye line ( 1 ) being in spring-memory opposition to exit travel of the rope-end eye-line flange ( 2 ) out of the quick-release channel ( 4 ) laterally and linearly.
