  • Patent number: 4414712
    Abstract: A device that can form and hold an eye in a line without the use of a knot that has an elongated body with passageways extending between its longitudinal ends. Lateral openings and access holes allow the line to escape the passageways between both ends. The line passes into a passageway of the elongated body at a first longitudinal end, passes out of the passageway through a lateral opening, passes back into the passageway through an adjacent lateral opening and passes out of the passageway through a second longitudinal end. After forming an eye, the line re-enters the elongated body at the second end and passes through another passageway exiting through an opening at the first end. A section of line departs from the passageway through another lateral opening. The line is further secured to the elongated body by first forming a loop and then passing the line between the elongated body and the departing section of line. The line is passed over the body and then passed between the body and the loop.
