Wall And Crown Knot
A wall and crown knot is a decorative kind of rope button. The original use of the knot was to put at the end of the ropes on either side of a gangway leading onto a ship as stoppers. A wall and crown knot consists of a wall knot and a crown knot with doubled strands..The strands of the wall knot go over, under twice, and over, while the strands of the crown knot go under, over twice, and under. In the wall and crown knot they are tied in opposite directions. This knot is often confused with a Turk's head knot, as both knots have a basket weave pattern. A Manrope knot(Double wall and crown, #847) is same knot as wall and crown knot but with little changes - crown strands doubled or tripled. in Verrill's book it is made from three-strand and crown strands doubled, in Ashley's book it is made from four-strand and crown strands tripled.

Turk's Head Knot
A Turk's head knot, sometimes known as a sailor's knot, is a decorative knot with a variable number of interwoven strands forming a closed loop. The name refers to a general family of knots, not an individual knot. While this knot is typically made around a cylinder, it can also be formed into a flat, mat-like shape. Some variants can be arranged into a roughly spherical shape, akin to a monkey's fist knot. This knot is primarily used for tightening up underlying material to overlay as a tubular covering knot, prevent slipping, and add a decorative element. A notable practical use for the ''Turk's head'' is to mark the "king spoke" of a ship's wheel (the spoke that is upright when the rudder is in a central position). The knot takes its name from its resemblance to a turban ( tr, sarık), though a turban is wound rather than interwoven. Leads and bights Different types of Turk's head knots are classified according to the number of leads and bights, as well as the method of ...

Eye Splice
The eye splice is a method of creating a permanent loop (an " eye") in the end of a rope by means of rope splicing. The Flemish eye is a type of circular loop at the end of a thread. There are several techniques of creating the eye with its knot tied back to the line, rope or wire. Techniques There are various splicing techniques, and relate to whether a rope is braided or plaited, whether it has a core and whether the core is made of high-performance fibers. Techniques include: * Eye splice in three-strand rope * Eye splice in eight-strand rope * Eye splice in single braided (hollow braid) rope * Eye splice in double braided rope with polyester or nylon fiber core * Eye splice in rope with braided cover and a laid core * Eyes splice in rope with braided cover and parallel fibers in the core * Eye splice in double braided rope with a high-performance fiber core (e.g. Dyneema, Vectran) In three-strand rope For conventional stranded ropes, the ends of the rope are tuck ...

List Of Knots
This list of knots includes many alternative names for common knots and lashings. Knot names have evolved over time, and there are many conflicting or confusing naming issues. The overhand knot, for example, is also known as the thumb knot. The figure-eight knot is also known as the Savoy knot or the Flemish knot. A * Adjustable Bend – can be easily lengthened or shortened * Adjustable Grip Hitch – a simple hitch which may easily be shifted up and down the rope while slack *Albright Special – used to tie two different diameters of line together, for instance to tie monofilament to braid *Alpine Butterfly (also known as Butterfly Loop) – a static loop mostly used by mountain climbers and rappellers for securing a carabiner to static rope. * Alternate Ring Hitching – covering a ring in hitching can prevent damage * Anchor Bend – attaching a rope to a ring or similar termination *Angler's Loop – knot which forms a fixed loop. Useful for fine or slippery line, it is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
