The loom line , loom or mast throw is a knot for attaching a line to an object. Sometimes it is also known as the figure eight loop . The loom line barely jams, even under heavy loads, but can roll off or loosen if the load is on one side.
The loom can be stuck, laid or thrown. It is one of the few knots that are suitable for the middle of a line if the ends ( nautical: rope ) are not free.
Surname
Loom lines or “loom lines” are lines stretched between the shrouds of a ship, which enable the mast and rigging to be boarded. Often looms are stretched between three (or more) shrouds. The loom is attached to the central shroud - partly also to the outer shrouds - with a loom.
application
Mooring on the stake
In recreational shipping , the weaving line is used to moor to posts. It stays firmly on the post and does not slide down, not even in rough seas or in ebb and flow. Because of the one-sided load, the loose end must always be secured with half a blow .
Tie around a round object
Unsecured loom line
Secured around the trunk with half a fold
Secured with two half blows around the rope
Laying on the stake
The loom line is "thrown" at the bollard . Two half blows are thrown around the bollard one after the other. Even with the first throw of the first half stroke, the ship can be held by the friction of the rope on the bollard, even with a strong pull. The second half knot then fixes the knot. Because of the one-sided load, the loose end must always be secured with half a blow.
Fender knot (woven line on slip)
To attach fenders to the railing , the loom hook on slip is used. First, the fender line is put around the railing and the correct height of the fender for the mooring is set. The line is led all the way around the railing and thus supplemented halfway. The second half hit is placed on slip . This allows a sailing crew to quickly change the position of the fenders at any time during the mooring maneuver. Since the loom can loosen in the sea by turning or changing the direction of pull, it is often secured with a half-turn with the loop.
An alternative to this would be the tie knot .
Mast throw on the snap hook
The weaving line is called mast throw by climbers and mountaineers as well as in fire and rescue services and is used as a closing knot.
It is equipped with a locking carabiner on the stand for the self-locking used. The length of the safety rope can be easily adjusted without loosening the knot (and thus removing yourself from the safety chain). The knot tightens under load and holds.
Other uses
The loom hook is used to attach the parachute lines to the belt ring. However, it is brought "down" with half a turn. Two half-teats on the "top" plus an additional zigzag seam with the end secure the knot.
Telephone cables can be attached to mast tops with it. The cables are looped around the mast without kinks. In order to fix a cable in the middle, the pole can also be laid twice. This makes it unnecessary to fully unwind and loop through the end.
The loom line is one of several basic knots in the knotting technique of macrame . Here it is called the rib knot .
In veterinary medicine, the loom line is used as a so-called castration loop.
Alternatives
- For fixing bars or long objects, the suitable timber hitch with half strike .
- To attach the carrying rope of a rope bridge, the rope is looped around the tree several times and the end is secured.
- The Roringstek is used on the anchor shaft .
- For permanent tying of a sack is suitable constrictor knot . It is firmer, but can hardly be loosened.
- The knot on the bollard can become tight and difficult to loosen. The Pollerstek is another option.
Modifications
- If you wrap half a lay twice on one side, you get a stopper .
- If you pull the end through again under the opposite half-stroke, the choke knot (also called "constrictor knot ") is created.
