I'd love to see that mechanism. I've seen some useful climbing tools and gear, which I'd say are almost ideal for the kind of thing I want, but they also seems like an overkill for the things I want to do.
Google for "equestrian panic hook".
They should look something like this and are less than $10 usually:
Basically you push the middle part in the direction of the arrow and the hinged hook on the right will snap right open (with quite some force if there is a lot of load on it, so make sure you familiarize yourself with how it works). So as long as you can reach and move the slider (make sure of that!), you can cut the tension to any rope immediately.
Beware that they are usually not rated for suspension though (some have been tested for up to 150 lbs, but I would not recommend using them for suspension releases).
As for your problem to keep the tension up after tightening the rope:
As mentioend, use either a
special ring device (bottom of that page, if you're not familiar) or a rope ratchet.
Please note that both of those will only tighten in one direction and not release a single inch of rope the other way when under load. Rope ratchets have a small lever to open, but a) the lever usually is recessed into the casing and hard to operate with numb hands and/or while wearing gloves and b) will not budge if there is no slack on the rope at all, which will very likely be the case in an extreme hogtie (
luckily I found that out while practicing).
Hence the need for scissors or a panic hook (ideally both). I would not rely on a timed mechanism like an ice lock, since the strain from an extreme hogtie can easily be overwhelming and may require an instant release.
If you intend to try either the panic hook, SRD or rope ratchets, please practice, practice, practice and familiarize yourself with how they work. Also, don't go overboard with tying your hands (or elbows). I can not stress that enough. An arched hogtie will limit your ability to move your arms quite a bit.
STAY SAFE!
