2. Lewis (lifting appliance) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_(lifting_appliance)

   The split-pin lewis is similar to the chain-linked lewis in that it uses a scissor-like action to produce friction against the inside of the lewis hole. The two legs, semicircular in section, lie side-by-side, and fit inside a hole drilled in the stone. This type of lewis seating is the simplest to prepare, requiring a single drilled hole.

6. Hook-and-loop fastener - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hook-and-loop_fastener

   Shoe closures can resist a large force with only a small amount of hook-and-loop fasteners. This is because the strap is wrapped through a slot, halving the force on the bond by acting as a pulley system (thus gaining a mechanical advantage), and further absorbing some of the force in friction around the tight bend. This layout also ensures ...

7. Strapping (punishment) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strapping_(punishment)

   Strapping refers to the use of a strap as an implement of corporal punishment. It is typically a broad and heavy strip of leather, often with a hard handle, the more flexible 'blade' being applied to the offender.
