About: Lapp knot

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Lapp knot is an ends joint, i.e. it is used to join two cordage ends (whether of separate lines or of one, making a round sling). It is essentially a reverse sheet bend. The slipped Lapp bend also is an exploding knot, which means that when pulling the quick release end it falls completely apart without further entanglement. It is as strong as or even stronger than the sheet bend, though much less common.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • The Lapp knot is an ends joint, i.e. it is used to join two cordage ends (whether of separate lines or of one, making a round sling). It is essentially a reverse sheet bend. The slipped Lapp bend also is an exploding knot, which means that when pulling the quick release end it falls completely apart without further entanglement. It is as strong as or even stronger than the sheet bend, though much less common. The Lapp knot is closely related to the sheet bend, the bowline and the Eskimo bowline, as they all share the same core structure, but differ in how the four ends are loaded --which is standing part, tail, eye legs, as applicable.The Lapp knot was sometimes called 'false sheet bend', which might explain its low popularity.
