Hitch (knot)
A hitch is a type of knot used to secure a rope to an object or another rope. Hitches are used in a variety of situations, including climbing, sailing, and Load securing, securing loads. They are classified based on their ability to be tightened or Knot#Releasability, released, their resistance to Slipping (knot), slipping, and their Knot strength, strength. Some common types of hitch knots include the clove hitch, the timber hitch, and the round turn and two half-hitches. Physical theory A simple mathematical theory of hitches has been proposed by Bayman. It predicts whether or not a hitch will hold, given the diameter of the post, the diameter of the rope, and the coefficient of friction between the post and the rope. The theory has been extended by Maddocks and Keller, including an approximate treatment of knots that are not hitches. For example, they predict that a square knot will hold when the coefficient of friction of the rope with itself is greater than 0.24. These predi ...

Tow Hitch
A tow hitch (or tow bar or trailer hitch in North America) is a device attached to the chassis of a vehicle for towing, or a towbar to an aircraft nose gear. It can take the form of a tow ball to allow swiveling and articulation of a Trailer (vehicle), trailer, or a tow pin, or a tow hook with a trailer loop, often used for large or agricultural vehicles where slack in the pivot pin allows similar movements. Another category is the towing pintle used on military vehicles worldwide. To tow safely, the correct combination of vehicle and trailer must be combined with correct loading horizontally and vertically on the tow ball. Advice should be heeded (see references) to avoid problems. Regional variations North America Trailer hitches for conventional passenger cars, light-duty commercial vehicles, light trucks, and multipurpose passenger vehicles come in two main OEM or aftermarket types: receiver and bumper/fixed-drawbar. Receiver-type hitches consist of a portion with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lavinia (fish)
''Lavinia exilicauda'', the hitch, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Leuciscidae, which includes the daces, chubs, Eurasian minnows and related fishes. This species is endemic to central California, and was once very common. The common name may derive from a Pomoan word for this species. It is the only species in the monospecific genus ''Lavinia''. Taxonomy ''Lavinia exilicauda'' was first formally described in 1854 by Spencer Fullerton Baird and Charles Frédéric Girard with its type locality given as the Sacramento River in California. While the hitch is closely related to the California roach (''Hesperoleucus symmetricus''), and the two species can hybridize, leading some authorities to place ''H. symmetricus'' in ''Lavinia'', genomic data appear to support the fishes' separate lineages. This taxon is classified in the subfamily Laviniinae, the "Western chubs", of the family Leuciscidae. Three distinct population segments (DPS) or subspecies ...

Hitch (route)
A route is a pattern or path that a receiver in gridiron football runs to get open for a forward pass. Routes are usually run by wide receivers, running backs and tight ends, but other positions can act as a receiver given the play. One popular way to organize routes is with a "route tree". A route tree is a way to show all the various routes with one diagram. Routes Curl A curl route, also called a hitch or hook (sometimes a button hook), is a route where the receiver appears to be running a fly pattern but after a set number of steps or yards will quickly stop and turn around, looking for a pass. This generally works best when the defending corner or safety commits himself to guarding the fly and is unable to stop quickly enough to defend the pass. A "curl out" on the sideline is often referred to as a comeback route. The curl is a pattern used frequently by the West Coast offensive scheme, where quick and accurate passes are favored. This route can also be used in what i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
