Hook and loop rope

Abstract

The hook and loop rope of the present invention is configured to facilitate tying objects down without requiring a user to tie a knot in the rope. Instead, the user need only loop the rope through a tiedown (or structural equivalent) prior to engaging hooks of a first portion of the rope with loops of a second portion of the rope. In the rolled configuration, a plurality of hooks associated with a hook side of the rope engage with a plurality of loops associated with a loop side of the rope, thereby retaining the rope in the rolled configuration. The plurality of hooks are displaced from the plurality of loops to move the rope into an unrolled configuration. Then, in the tie-down configuration, a first portion of the rope overlaps a second portion, thereby preventing or otherwise inhibiting movement of the first portion relative to the second.
