Patent attributes
A line lock includes a body at least partially bounding a primary passageway, a secondary passageway, and a working passageway. In one embodiment at least a portion of the working passageway is disposed between the primary passageway and the secondary passageway such that a geometric line segment extending between the primary passageway and the secondary passageway intersects with working passageway. A line extends through the primary passageway, the secondary passageway and then through the working passageway such that a relative compression section of the line is formed between the primary passageway and the secondary passageway. The compression section of the line selectively biases against a portion of the line extending out of the working passageway so as to selectively lock the line to the body when the line is tensioned against the body.
