Abstract
A line-handling device is for letting out, winding up and locking a line. The line-handling device has: a first handle; a substantially flat reel which is rotatable relative to the first handle; a line-guiding part which is fixed relative to the first handle; a locking mechanism for locking the reel in a non-rotatable position; and an attachment element for a tautening device, the reel being displaceable relative to the first handle parallel to the rotational axis of the reel. A line-handling system is for suspending a line between two anchoring points and a method is for suspending a line between two anchoring points.

A line-handling device for letting out, winding up and locking a line, the line-handling device comprising:
- a first handle;
- a substantially flat reel which is rotatable relative to the first handle;
- a line-guiding part which is fixed relative to the first handle;
- a locking mechanism for locking the reel in a non-rotatable position;
- and
- an attachment element for a tautening device,
- wherein the reel is displaceable relative to the first handle parallel to the rotational axis of the reel.
The line-handling system for suspending a line between two anchoring points, wherein the line-handling system comprises a line-handling device comprising a first handle, a substantially flat reel which is rotatable relative to the first handle, a line-guiding part which is fixed relative to the first handle, a locking mechanism for locking the reel in a non-rotatable position, and an attachment element for a tautening device, wherein the reel is displaceable relative to the first handle parallel to the rotational axis of the reel, and wherein the line-handling system further comprises the tautening device for tautening the line.
A method for suspending a line between two anchoring points, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
- letting out a line from a line-handling device comprising a first handle, a substantially flat reel which is rotatable relative to the first handle, a line-guiding part which is fixed relative to the first handle, a locking mechanism for locking the reel in a non-rotatable position, and an attachment element for a tautening device, wherein the reel is displaceable relative to the first handle parallel to the rotational axis of the reel;
- securing an end of the line to a first anchoring point;
- securing a tautening device to a second anchoring point;
- locking the line via the line-handling device and connecting the tautening device to the attachment element on the line-handling device;
- and
- tautening the line via the tautening device so that the line-handling device hangs suspended on the line in a locked state.
