Abstract
The assembly includes a cleat holder having a base, an outer wall opposite the base, and a cleat-receiving pocket having an opening in the outer wall. A cleat has one end mounted within the cleat holder and an opposite free end tip. The cleat is movable within the pocket between a gripping position in which the free end tip of the cleat projects through the opening of the pocket beyond the outer wall of the cleat holder and a retracted position in which the free end tip of the cleat at least partially retracts into the pocket. A spring is mounted in the pocket for resiliently urging the cleat from the retracted position toward the gripping position. The cleat assembly can include a plurality of separately manufactured, identical cleat holders secured in end-to-end alignment forming an endless belt, chain or the like.
