Patent ID: 8661624

Claim:
A portable cleat for fastening a flexible tension member under static or kinetic force influences wherein said cleat is made from a flat material of uniform predetermined thickness and possesses a predetermined tensile strength; wherein said cleat being generally elongated and describing a forward and rearward perspective relative to said tension member and an anchoring point; wherein said cleat is configured to provide a meant to fasten said tension member without the aid of a knot; wherein said cleat comprises a first arm and a second arm of predetermined widths and lengths projecting outwardly from a juncture from a main body elongated along a linear axis; wherein said first arm projects outwardly in a forward direction at an angle away from said main body thereby forming a first V shaped notch and said second arm projects outwardly in a rearward direction at an angle away from said main body thereby forming a second V shaped notch; wherein the center point of said juncture of said arms is at a forward position relative to the overall linear center point of said cleat; wherein the geometric center points of said first V shaped notch and said second V shaped notch line on an axis parallel to the linear axis of said main body; wherein said main body contains a plurality of holes configured to connect one or more additional cleat units onto said cleat in a stacking modular fashion; wherein said main body has a bulbous projection on its rearward end projecting away from said main body in the direction toward said first arm and said second arm; wherein said bulbous projection contains a plurality of apertures of varying sizes configured to provide a means for attaching a variety of anchoring devices; and wherein the geometric center points of said apertures are aligned on the axis of the geometric center points of said first V shaped notch and said second V shaped notch.
