Abstract
An adjustable securing device for securing a flexible line in a selected position to an elongate member including a base with a threaded shaft projecting from one of the base's surfaces. A line lock is screwed onto the threaded shaft and is operable to clamp a flexible line against the base. A mounting member is mounted for shifting to selected positions along the elongated member. A locking device connects the base plate to the mounting member and secures the mounting member in a selected position on the elongate member.
Claims13
An adjustable securing device for releasably attaching a flexible line to an elongate member comprising:
- a mounting member adapted for mounting on the elongate member and for shifting to selected positions longitudinally therealong,
- a base having a first surface and an opposed second surface with a threaded shaft projecting from the first surface,
- a line lock screwed on the shaft operable to clamp a flexible line against the base,
- a locking device for connecting the base to the mounting member and releasably securing the mounting member in a selected position on the elongate member;
- wherein said mounting member comprises a flexible clamp adapted to be fit about the elongate member having portions which may be urged into frictional contact with the elongate member;
- and
- wherein said clamp comprises a pair of normally spaced-apart facing flange end portions and said locking device comprises inter-engaged threaded elements operable to urge said flange end portions toward each other.
