Hook-and-loop fastener spread evenly, as it is with rigid pieces. Three ways to maximize the strength of a bond between the two flexible pieces are: 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 that the force is parallel to the strips. Touch fasteners are easy to use, safe, and maintenance free.
Fly system hoist (of an automated line set). Rope line (hemp) head blocks are typically upright blocks that mount to the rope line head block well channels at the grid level. In a counterweight rigging system the head block sheave is grooved for both the steel cable lift lines and an operating line, with the groove for the operating line provided at the middle of the multi-grooved sheave, between the lift lines. Counterweight head blocks mount atop or at the underside of the head block beam, depending on the beam's vertical position. The diameter of a head block sheave used for galvanized
