  2. Diamond hitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_hitch

    The steps used to tie a diamond hitch with six points of anchorage. In the diagram shown to the left, six points are used, but the top left, right, bottom left and right points can be ignored by simply "tucking" the rope beneath the load to be tied down, provided its shape and size allow, as is the case when the knot is used on a pack-saddle where those four extra points are simply the four ...

    Diagram of how to tie the hitching tie knot. The hitching tie is a simple knot used to tie off stuff sacks that allows quick access as it unties quickly.

  4. The 85 Ways to Tie a Tie - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_85_Ways_to_Tie_a_Tie

    The discovery of all possible ways to tie a tie depends on a mathematical formulation of the act of tying a tie. In their papers (which are technical) and book (which is for a lay audience, apart from an appendix), the authors show that necktie knots are equivalent to persistent random walks on a triangular lattice, with some constraints on how the walks begin and end.

    Cross over the immobilized other end of the rope, then cross back tucking under the crossing point of step 3.2 (of the immobilized other end, and the part between the two turns), (option 2 : this last tuck with a bight instead of the end as an end-side-slip for the final knot). To tie the other variants:

  6. Rail fastening system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_fastening_system

    A tie plate, baseplate or sole plate is a steel plate for centering and reinforcing the attachment point on the rail tracks between a flanged T rail and a railroad tie. The tie plate increases bearing area and holds the rail to correct gauge .

  7. Packer's knot - Wikipedia

    The packer's knot is a binding knot which is easily pulled taut and quickly locked in position. It is most often made in small line or string, such as that used for hand baling, parcel tying, and binding roasts.

  8. Shoelace knot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoelace_knot

    Close-up of a shoelace knot. The shoelace knot, or bow knot, is commonly used for tying shoelaces and bow ties.. The shoelace knot is a doubly slipped reef knot formed by joining the ends of whatever is being tied with a half hitch, folding each of the exposed ends into a loop and joining the loops with a second half hitch.

  9. Half-Windsor knot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-Windsor_knot

    The half-Windsor knot, also known as the single Windsor knot, [1] is a way of tying a necktie which produces a neat, triangular knot. It is larger than the four-in-hand knot and Pratt knot, but smaller than the Windsor knot.
