BIGHT OF A ROPE Meaning and
Definition
-
The bight of a rope is a term used in the field of knotting and rope work to describe a specific section or portion of a rope between the two ends. More specifically, it refers to the curved or U-shaped portion of a rope that is formed when the free end is bent back and passed through or behind a loop, knot, or object.
The bight is essentially a loop or bend that is formed within the rope itself, allowing it to be utilized in various applications such as creating secure knots, making loops for attaching objects or devices, or serving as a handle for pulling or lifting tasks.
The term can also extend to describe the slack or loose part of a rope between two points, where it is not being actively used or engaged. In this sense, when a rope is coiled or laid out, the sections or sections of the rope that are not in use are considered bights.
Generally, the bight of a rope can be easily adjusted or manipulated to tighten or loosen a knot, adjust tension, or modify the size or shape of a loop. It is a fundamental aspect of rope work and knotting techniques, providing versatility and adaptability in various practical applications and situations.
