Tow clip

Abstract

A tow clip (10) for quickly and easily connecting a towable vehicle to a tow rope, the tow clip having a base portion (12), a head portion (14), and a T-shaped slot (16) extending through the head portion (14) and into a portion of the base portion (12). The T-shaped slot (16) is configured to receive a loop of a strap connected to a towable vehicle and is further configured to allow a loop of rope to pass through it. The head portion (14) is configured so that a tow rope can be attached to the tow clip (10) by passing a loop of the rope through the T-shaped slot and separating the loop and bringing the loop over and around the head portion. When tension is applied to the distal end of the rope, the head portion (14) engages the rope thereby preventing the loop from passing back over and around the head portion (14) and through the T-shaped slot (16).
