A miller's knot (also sack knot or bag knot) is a binding knot used to secure the opening of a sack or bag. Historically, large sacks often contained grains; thus the association of these knots with the miller's trade. Several knots are known interchangeably by these three names.〔Clifford W. Ashley, ''The Ashley Book of Knots'' (New York: Doubleday, 1944), 62.〕 ==Variations== As noted above, several other distinct knots have historically been known as miller's, sack, or bag knots; namely ABOK-1241, ABOK-1242, ABOK-1243 (Ground line hitch), ABOK-1244 and their slipped versions. The following 3 knots do not fit the simple "two crossing turns - ends tucked under" definition but are very secure: * A slipped Constrictor knot where the ends are passed through the opposing slips for security is quite secure as a bag knot. Unslipped, it is even more secure, but it may have to be cut at the bridge to open the bag. * A slipped Strangle knot where the ends are passed through the opposing slips for security is also quite secure as a bag knot. * A Bottle sling around a swirled and folded neck of the bag (elbow of the neck) is also a very solid and reliable bag knot. The fold provides the slight bulge a bottle sling needs for a secure hold. The bag may be hanged fully loaded by the ends of the Bottle sling tied together. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Miller's knot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
