Embodiment Construction

[0038]Referring now to the figures of the drawing in detail and first, particularly, to FIG. 1 thereof, there is seen a cleat attachable device 1 having a frame 2. The device 1 is shown mounted on a cleat 30 which has horns 31, spars 32, a mounting foot 33 and opening 34 between the spars 32. The frame 2 includes lateral posts 4, 5 disposed opposite one another. The frame 2 has a base end 10 configured to be mounted to the cleat 30 and a distal end 11 opposite the base end 10. The lateral posts 4, 5 converge towards the distal end 11 and are attached to one another at the distal end 11 by a connection piece 45. The connection piece 45 may be provided as a curved piece to allow a loop 70 of a line 71 to easily pass over the distal end 11 and down the lateral posts 4, 5. The frame 2 has respective mounting plates 41, 51 mounted to said lateral posts 4, 5, at the base end 10. The mounting plates 41, 51 project towards one another and each has a respective end surface that matches the o...

Abstract

A cleat attachable device for attaching to a cleat having horns. The device includes a frame having a base end, a distal end opposite the base end, and lateral posts. The lateral posts are disposed opposite one another and are connected to one another at the distal end. The lateral posts each have a respective mounting plate with a longitudinal slot formed therein. A stud plate has an underside for resting on the cleat. The stud plate has two studs opposite the underside for receiving the mounting plates thereon and securing the frame to the cleat.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Field of the Invention[0002]The invention relates to a device for attaching to a cleat, more specifically, to a frame device for assisting in attaching a docking line with a looped end.[0003]Description of the Related Art[0004]The present invention embodies a frame device for assisting in attaching a docking line with a looped end.[0005]Horn cleats or devices for attaching lines are used generally on docks. Docks generally have a side which allows for a vessel to pull up and tie up to the dock. Horn cleats, well known in the art, are typically made of a metal and include two horns affixed to spars, an opening is typically present in the center of the cleat between the spars.[0006]U.S. Pat. No. 6,155,191 to Weaver discloses a cleat bracket having a first end with a z-shape, which allows the bracket to be attached to the cleat. The bracket includes a straight portion having a hook for holding accessories such as a lantern. The bracket of Weaver is not ...
