Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to a method of tying strings and the like. [Background technology]
[0002] When tensioning ropes and other strings, it is necessary to maintain the load while tying them, but since they tend to loosen easily, it is difficult to tension them tightly, and looseness occurs. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] When stringing ropes and other strings for camping or transport, they tend to loosen no matter how much force you use. This is because even if you tighten them, the load is not maintained during the knotting process, and they tend to loosen. Therefore, we aim to solve this problem by proposing a knot with the improved structure described above that can maintain a tighter state. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] This invention solves the problems of lack of tension due to insufficient force and loosening due to inability to maintain tension during binding by providing a binding structure that combines two structures: a structure that compensates for insufficient force by using the principle of a pulley, and a structure that can hold the load as a temporary fastener to minimize loosening during binding. [Effects of the Invention]
[0007] As mentioned above, the use of the pulley principle and the binding structure that can hold the load of this invention eliminates situations where the string cannot be kept taut. This not only prevents insufficient force or loosening during binding, but also helps to tighten the string to compensate for loosening due to the material or the passage of time, and adjust the load on the fastening point. Because the structure is easy to untie, it can be considered to be useful in many applications. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0008] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a front view showing one embodiment of the tying method of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is an exploded front view showing the binding structure of FIG. 1. [Figure 3] FIG. 1 is an enlarged exploded front view showing the structure of claim 1. [Figure 4] FIG. 1 is a front view showing the structure of claim 1 being compressed. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0009] Specific practical situations are shown using multiple fixing points and a general string as an example. A situation when tying a string to multiple fixing points such as standing trees or iron poles at camp or at home and hanging something from them. A similar situation where it is necessary to adjust the load on the fixing points or to adjust the spacing between fixing points to maintain a certain range. A situation where the string needs to be tightened or loosened as it stretches due to load or deterioration over time, or adjusted as it shrinks. A situation where two strings are tied together. By including a temporary fastening structure that maintains the load for each of the above situations, it becomes possible to easily and effectively adjust the load. [Example]
[0010] An embodiment will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. [Fig. 1] is a front view showing one embodiment of the knotting method of the present invention, and [Fig. 2] is an exploded view of the entire binding structure. The binding to 2 on the right side of [Fig. 2] is secured by a slip-stop knot, but any method of tying is acceptable as long as it does not loosen. In this embodiment, a slip-stop knot is created with a gap up to 2 on the left side, and then an inverted slip-stop knot is created to pass over 2 on the left side, resulting in a binding structure using multiple commonly known slip-stop knots. Claim 1 is the same as [Fig. 3] and [Fig. 4], which are enlarged versions of the central part of [Fig. 2].
[0011] The right end of 1 is designated as 1a and the left end as 1b. By completing the binding structure shown in [Figure 3] in order from the 1a side with reference to [Figure 2], the binding structure capable of holding the load of claim 1 is completed.
[0012] After completing and tightening each knot up to [Figure 3], pulling 1b begins further tightening of the entire knot. The pulled state is [Figure 4], and by pulling to the left, the loop of the left slip-stop knot is easily pulled using the pulley principle. By pulling to the right in an arc while maintaining the load, the loop becomes smaller and tightened. By repeating this, the pressure at the intersection of the right and left loops becomes stronger, and the tightening fixes it and maintains the load.
[0013] The structure of [Figure 4] allows for easy adjustment of the load by passing 1b between the rings on the 1a side. The structure is such that the friction increases as the pressure between the two rings increases, but if left as is, it will easily loosen. Therefore, by creating a stopper knot such as the last knot of 1b in [Figure 2], a knot that is difficult to loosen and can be easily re-tightened or loosened is completed. [Industrial Applicability]
[0015] Possible applications and uses include products and items that require strings to be connected together, products and items that require a certain amount of tension between fixed points such as clotheslines, packing ropes and tent ropes, products and items that require adjustment or load to maintain the spacing between fixed points, products and items that require adjustment after assuming that they will loosen due to impact or vibration, etc. [Explanation of symbols]
[0016] 1. String or rope-like object 2. Fixed objects such as trees and iron poles
Claims
[Claim 1] A binding structure incorporating the pulley principle, characterized by load retention during binding.
