Abstract

An auxiliary rope knotter includes an interior formed with a first through hole, a second through hole, a first locking groove and a second locking groove which are parallel with each other. In the cross-sectional face of the auxiliary rope knotter, the first center connecting line formed by the first through hole and the second through hole intersects the second center connecting line formed by the first locking groove and the second locking groove, such that the rope is easily knotted by the auxiliary rope knotter.

Claims

1. An auxiliary rope knotter comprising:

an interior formed with a first through hole, a second through hole, a first locking groove and a second locking groove;

wherein;

the first through hole, the second through hole, the first locking groove and the second locking groove are parallel with each other;

in a cross-sectional face of the auxiliary rope knotter, the first through hole and the second through hole have a first center connecting line, and the first locking groove and the second locking groove have a second center connecting line;

the second center connecting line intersects the first center connecting line;

in a cross-sectional face of the first locking groove and the second locking groove, each of the first locking groove and the second locking groove has an opening which has a width smaller than a width of each of the first locking groove and the second locking groove;

each of the first through hole and the second through hole has a diameter greater than the width of each of the first locking groove and the second locking groove;

each of the first locking groove and the second locking groove is formed with a first extension wall protruding outward and a second extension wall protruding outward;

tops of the first extension wall and the second extension wall are spaced from each other through a predetermined distance and form the opening;

a rope is inserted through the opening into the first locking groove and the second locking groove; and

the first extension wall and the second extension wall press the rope to increase a friction between the rope and an inner wall of each of the first locking groove and the second locking groove.

2. The auxiliary rope knotter of claim 1, wherein each of the first locking groove and the second locking groove has two opposite ends each provided with a chamfered face.

3. The auxiliary rope knotter of claim 1, wherein each of the first through hole and the second through hole has a diameter greater than or equal to that of the rope.

4. The auxiliary rope knotter of claim 1, wherein the auxiliary rope knotter has an outer surface provided with a projection to enhance a handhold friction.

5. The auxiliary rope knotter of claim 1, wherein the first locking groove has a C-shaped configuration.

6. The auxiliary rope knotter of claim 1, wherein the second locking groove has a C-shaped configuration.

7. The auxiliary rope knotter of claim 1, wherein the opening is defined between the first extension wall and the second extension wall of each of the first locking groove and the second locking groove.

8. The auxiliary rope knotter of claim 7, wherein the opening extends through a whole length of each of the first extension wall and the second extension wall of each of the first locking groove and the second locking groove.

9. The auxiliary rope knotter of claim 1, wherein the auxiliary rope knotter is formed integrally with the first through hole, the second through hole, the first locking groove, the second locking groove, the first extension wall, and the second extension wall.

11. The auxiliary rope knotter of claim 1, wherein the opening has a length smaller than that of each of the first locking groove and the second locking groove.

12. The auxiliary rope knotter of claim 1, wherein the rope is pressed by the opening.

10. An auxiliary rope knotter comprising:

an interior formed with a first through hole, a second through hole, a first locking groove and a second locking groove;

wherein;

the first through hole, the second through hole, the first locking groove and the second locking groove are parallel with each other;

in a cross-sectional face of the auxiliary rope knotter, the first through hole and the second through hole have a first center connecting line, and the first locking groove and the second locking groove have a second center connecting line;

the second center connecting line intersects the first center connecting line;

in a cross-sectional face of the first locking groove and the second locking groove, each of the first locking groove and the second locking groove has an opening which has a width smaller than a width of each of the first locking groove and the second locking groove;

each of the first locking groove and the second locking groove is formed with a first extension wall protruding outward and a second extension wall protruding outward;

tops of the first extension wall and the second extension wall are spaced from each other through a predetermined distance and form the opening;

a rope is inserted through the opening into the first locking groove and the second locking groove;

the first extension wall and the second extension wall press the rope to increase a friction between the rope and an inner wall of each of the first locking groove and the second locking groove; and

each of the first locking groove and the second locking groove has a length equal to that of each of the first through hole and the second through hole.
