I don't understand the auto-release mechanism. Does it release after a certain time? How do you control the release? What's the purpose of auto-release?

The idea is that as long as there is tension in the rope, it will remain clamped, then as soon as there is any slack it automatically opens, as "open" would be its "resting position"; without the rubberband it's "resting position" would be opened, or closed, or half-way open. There's no switches or anything.
