Abstract
A coupling device comprising a flexible elongate member of at least one length of an at least twice wound rope and a pin configured to be removably engaged with the flexible elongate member, wherein the flexible elongate member is formed as a loop or a part loop completing the loop with the pin, wherein at least one winding of rope is of disparate length to at least one other winding.
Claims14
A coupling device comprising:
- a pin;
- a flexible elongate member in a part loop form completing a loop with the pin, secured to the pin to be able to form at least one smaller loop form using the pin, the at least one smaller loop form with the pin being a coupling form of the coupling device;
- wherein the flexible elongate member (a) comprises at least one length of rope formed to define parallel multiple rope sections of the part loop form, and (b) is at least in part protectively ensheathed using a cover to protect at least part of the rope sections,
- wherein the flexible elongate member is able to be secured to the pin to be able to form the at least one smaller loop form using the pin as a toggle,
- wherein the at least one length of rope is wound into the part loop form by a plurality of windings of the at least one length of rope, and
- wherein the windings are of at least two different sizes.
