    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick_coupler

    Quick couplers (also called quick hitches) are used with construction machines to allow the rapid change of working tools or buckets and attachments on the machine. They remove the need to use hammers to manually drive out and insert the mounting pins for attachments.

  3. Railway coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_coupling

    On straight track, the link and pin coupler is used. Since the vertical curve between the straight track sections and the ramp between the lock chambers has a very small radius, the difference in height would be too great for a link and pin coupler, so the locomotives must be pushed through these sections uncoupled by using the side buffers.

  4. Two half-hitches - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_half-hitches

    Two half hitches is the commonest of all hitches for mooring in particular and also for general utility. Steel gives the name in 1794. The difference between two half hitches and the clove hitch is that the former, after a single turn around a spar, is made fast around its own standing part, while the latter is tied directly around the spar.

    The diagram from Beard's 1897 coupler patent [1]. Janney couplers were first patented in 1873 by Eli H. Janney (U.S. patent 138,405).

  7. Round turn and two half-hitches - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Round_turn_and_two_half-hitches

    Variations of this hitch can be made with differing numbers of turns and half-hitches; an example is illustrated below. With additional turns, it becomes a pipe hitch. The Round Turn and Two Half Hitches is named by Steel in 1794. If a spar is small, a round turn is preferable to a single turn. It makes a stronger knot and dissipates the wear.

  8. Taut-line hitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taut-line_hitch

    One taut-line hitch is tied 15–30 cm from the aircraft and adjusted for tension, then a second taut-line hitch is tied 5–20 cm further from the aircraft and finished with a half-hitch. Wind-induced lift tends to pull the knot tighter, gust-induced oscillations tend to damp-out, and once the half hitch is undone, pushing the lower working ...

    Versions popular in East Asia use variations of sheep shank using either a simple half hitch [11] or a double turn self crossing half hitch [12] or a triple turn self crossing half hitch. [13] A sheep shank with two consecutive half hitches i.e. a clove hitch to secure the upper eye and to form the lower eye is more popular in the west.
