A THIMBLE

摘要

A thimble (2) providing a first convex surface (4) about a first axis and a second convex surface (6) about a second axis, the first and second axes being substantially perpendicular to each other and the first and second surfaces (4, 6) being opposite each other, the thimble (2) being such that a first length of elongate material (20) can be wrapped over said first convex surface (4) and back on itself to form a first loop around the thimble (2) and a second length of elongate material (22) can then be wrapped over said second convex surface (6) through said first loop and back on itself to form a second loop around the thimble (2).
