In knot science , the eye describes a simple shape that is characterized by the formation of a circle. In a narrower sense it is a synonym for the simple trip . It occurs when the legs of a bay cross each other. In a broader sense it stands for other ring-shaped knot shapes, such as loops and loops .

Demarcation

A: Bay , B: Closed bay, C: Eye (single trip), D: Round trip , E: Two round trips

The term eye is overloaded and stands for many circular structures in knot science. However, if the loose part completes a circle around the standing part , this is called a half stroke .

Knot

There are two ways to put an eye in a rope. The right-fist rule could be used to identify the two possibilities. This designation is not generally used in knot science, but it is used here in the absence of any other designation. The eye is right-handed if it winds clockwise (viewed in the direction in which it is moving away from the viewer), otherwise left-handed. The accessibility of the eye is absolute, ie it is independent of whether one is looking at the eye from above or below along the axis.

loop

A knotted, ge splice te or pressed loop also called the sailor language eye. Rope with an eye at the end is Augleine called. When finished Augleinen the eye is often associated with a thimble reinforced to mechanical damage ( chafe to avoid).
