Cleat
In nautical contexts, a cleat is a device for securing a rope. The traditional design is attached to a flat surface or a spar and features two “horns” extending parallel to the deck or the axis of the spar, resembling an anvil. Other cleat designs include the following. ⁕A cam cleat in which one or two spring-loaded cams pinch the rope, allowing the rope to be adjusted easily, and quickly released when under load. ⁕A jam cleat in which the line is pinched in a v-shaped slot. ⁕A clam cleat in which the rope is held between two fluted stationary pieces. Such a cleat vaguely resembles two halves of a clam shell held back to back. It is more compact than a cam cleat, but the rope is less easily released under load. A cleat hitch is a knot used to secure a rope to a cleat.
