ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method for attaching a flexible line to a fixed object by use of an improved attachment shank. The attachment shank is based upon a one piece shank having at least three circular bends formed at one end of the shank, the free end of the shank forming a hook, clasp, or the like shape. The circular bends of the shank form a centrally disposed aperture set in a parallel plane to a centerline of the shank. Attachment of a flexible line to the shank is performed by inserting the flexible line through the aperture and reinserting a portion of the flexible line through the opposite end of the aperture. The flexible line is then twisted into at least three predefined loops engaging the circumference of the shank. Upon pulling of the line, the loops are pulled taunt about the shank tightly securing the line to the shank using the aperture as a slide preventing shoulder.
