Stopper Clamp

This clamp can be used to pull on slippery poles.

Use a double overhand noose to tie a self tightening loop. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_overhand_noose

It can be used in conjunction with Block and Tackle: – migrated from here http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:148571 – https://www.printables.com/model/430641-block-and-tackle

Due to the integration of a of rubber inlet and the loops self tightening, high axial load components can be held (~15kg tested). Untying is easy: You can take the loop out of the groove over the tip of the rod and pull the loop to zero to let the knot vanish.

To lift up really long (12m) poles. I've successfully tested this with a telescopic rod originally indended for cleaning equipment: http://www.wischmop-shop.de/teilige-profi-teleskopstange-12meter-gleitstein-p-335.htm TODO check internetarchive is thee is a snapshot - done NO :(

A butterfly loop can be used for sideward stabilizing ropes. Alternatively one could add eyelets to this thing.
