Abstract
A rope tie has a cylindrical housing contiguous to a base, with a first bore, a second bore, and a shoulder section contained in the housing and a first groove and a second groove inset along the second bore. A post is movably disposed in the base and consists of a first columnar section, a second columnar section, and a second shoulder section. A spring is seated between the second shoulder section and the first shoulder section, a check section is situated at one extremity of the post, and a hitch hole is formed through the first columnar section. As such, the check section is capable of engaging the first groove or the second groove, thereby enabling the re-positioning of the post.
