Gazebo node

According to archaeological evidence, the gazebo was known to the ancient Egyptians and Phoenicians already 3000 years ago. ^[1] The earliest known description of the site is found in John Smith's marine textbook, published in 1629 .

“Since ancient times, this looped useful node has been known. It is knitted by the formation of a barrier on the rope and passing through it the free end - up and down, stretched under the main trunk of a rope or rope. Take the lappar in the left hand so that its free end is directed from the face of the knitting knot. At a certain distance from the lobar, depending on the size of the loop that you need to get, a small peg, i.e. a point, is made. If you look ahead, the flap should be on the right side of the lappar. holding the peg with the index finger and the thumbs of the left hand, the free (running) end of the blade is passed into it so that it is directed towards the person working with the unit and goes into the binding (bay) with the eyeglass and the root part of the blade. Having circled the undercarriage of the lappar around the root, it is passed back to the point, leading along itself. after that they tighten the point and the running end of the lapar tightly. ”

There is a kind of node shown in the figure. It is called the left-handed (left-handed) or the Dutch sea. Dutch sailors say that it is better, since the short end cannot be squeezed out of the knot by the loop itself. Other sources, such as Ashley's Book of Knots, claim that it is worse, since the short end outside the loop can more easily cling to other objects.

The name gazebo comes from the Russian sea term “gazebo” - a small wooden board for lifting a person on a mast or lowering it overboard. ^[2] Another name for the knot dating back to the English maritime tradition is the bowline . A bowline is generally a tackle (rope) for pulling the bottom edge of the sails. The gear is fastened with a “bulin knot” , or simply a “bulin” . ^[3]

• English: English bowline . ^[one]
• German: in maritime affairs, the knot is called it. Palstek or him. Pahlstek - buoy knot; German climbers use the term dumb. Bulin there is also the name dumb. Schertauknoten - molehill and dumb . Rettungsschlinge - rescue loop.
• French: fr. Nœud de chaise - knot-chair (in the sense of "gazebo").
• Spanish: Spanish As de guía is the guiding node.
• Italian Ital. Gassa d'amante - lover's noose.
• Dutch: Netherlands. Paalsteek is a pillar node.
• Polish: Polish Węzeł skrajny tatrzański - Tatra end node or Polish. węzeł ratowniczy - rescue unit.

• First of all - to get a non-tightening loop.
• Used to create a loop at the end of a straight rope.
• For attaching the rope to rings, eyes, etc.
• For tying around a support (tree, pole, etc.).
• For tying ropes.
• Used on small sailing ships.
• Widely used in theater.
• It is widely used as a rescue unit, since it is possible to tie it around yourself with one hand.
• Used to insure or raise people.
• He was noticed in the feature film “Air America” - it was with his help that the character of Mel Gibson took his hangover buddy onto the external sling. The scout movement, which includes knitting (including bowline), is very popular in the USA.

A knot that does not untie, but does not tighten under load, allows you to easily untie yourself when the load is removed. However, this node can creep under variable load or on slippery cables.

It is recommended that the free end be secured with a test assembly. The control unit is necessary for the safe use of boulin in high-altitude and other works.

Can be used to create a drag loop - see sliding bowline .

For this node, there is an easily remembered mnemonic rule involving a rabbit, its hole and tree. The rabbit is the running end of the rope, the hole is the original loop, the tree is the root end of the rope.

• Figure 1: we form a loop - the rabbit’s hole.
• Figure 2: The rabbit (running end) crawls out of the hole.
• Figure 3: A rabbit runs around the tree (back).
• Figure 4: The rabbit crawls back into the hole.

Total: the rabbit crawls out of the hole, runs around the tree and crawls back into the hole.

An improperly tied knot can become loose under load. Incorrectly tied - one in which the point of application of the load and one of the side ropes are reversed (a “looping loop” goes around one end of the loop, not the load rope). Many, even print, guides and articles on the Internet actually show the wrong way to knit a bow-tie.

The bowline works correctly only if the load on the lateral ends of the loop is the same. The bowline loop does not allow the application of any other side load than the main rope!

Also, the pancake stretches and requires the mandatory use of a control node.

All these possible errors lead to repeated accidents associated with improper use of the unit.

This led to the fact that in the practice of mountain climbing and climbing, they try to replace the pancake with other analogues, and he himself acquired the notoriety of "insidious", which was also reflected in folklore:

Climbing Cavalier Guard (to the music of the song “Cavalier Guard Song” from the movie “ Star of Captivating Happiness ”)

Bulin is not female fun, but you took it to knit,
Well, gone from here, woman, until the blood spilled!
The bowlin will unleash silently, and the scream will melt in silence.
Do not trust the young virgin to fix the insurance on the wall.

- Masha, knit a pancake!
- I'm going to try now…
- No need to try, knit fifteen bows !!!
