Chuka stick systems

Claim 2

In a chuka stick system including a longitudinal rod and a loop connected to one or both ends of the rod, the improvement comprising: first, second and third bores formed in the rod, said first and second bores having an axis substantially perpendicular with the longitudinal direction of the rod, the third bore being a blind bore open at one end of the rod and communicating with said first bore, said first bore being spaced at a predetermined distance from said open end, said second bore being spaced from said open end by a prearranged distance exceeding said predetermined distance; said loop including a rope having an outside portion, including first and second longitudinal rope portions, and a central portion connecting said first and second portions, and first and second end portions partly disposed in said first and second bores, tied together at their extremities and crossed-over with respect to said first and second longitudinal rope portions, respectively, thereby defining a chuka stick with a loop at one end.

Claim 3

The chuka stick system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the rod is further formed with oppositely disposed longitudinal grooves, each communicating with said first and second bores.

Claim 4

The chuka stick system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising another rod, and wherein the loop of each one of the rods is slidable over a loop-free end of the other of the rods in respective opposite directions, until said loops form a knot.

Claim 5

The chuka stick system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising another loop connected to the other end of the rod, and fourth, fifth and sixth bores formed in the rod, said fourth and fifth bores having an axis substantially perpendicular with the longitudinal direction of the rod, the sixth bore being a blind bore open at said other end of the rod and communicating with said fourth bore, said fourth bore being spaced at a predetermined distance from said other open end, said fifth bore being spaced from said other open end by a prearranged distance exceeding said predetermined distance; said other loop including another rope having an outside portion, including first and second longitudinal rope portions, and a central portion connecting said first and second portions, and first and second end portions partly disposed in said fourth and fifth bores, tied together at their extremities and crossed-over with respect to said first and second longitudinal portions, thereby constituting a chuka stick with a loop at each end.

Claim 6

The chuka stick system as claimed in claim 4 further comprising another rod, and wherein a loop of each one of the rods is slidable over a looped or loop-free end of the other of the rods in respective opposite directions until the loops form a knot.

Claim 7

The chuka stick system as claimed in claim 4, further comprising two other rods, each being similar to the rod as claimed in claim 1, and wherein each loop of the rod as claimed in claim 4 is slidable over a looped or loop-free end of a respective of the other rods in respective opposite directions until corresponding of said loops form two respective knots.

Claim 8

The chuka stick system as claimed in claim 4, wherein said rod is further formed with oppositely disposed longitudinal grooves, each communicating with said first, second, fourth and fifth bores.

Claim 9

In a chuka stick system including at least two longitudinal rods wherein at least one rod has at least one loop, and wherein at least one other rod in the combination has two loops, one loop being at each end of the other rod, the improvement comprising: first, second and third bores formed in at least one end of the rods for each loop on the rods, said first and second bores having an axis substantially perpendicular with the longitudinal direction of the rods, the third bore being a blind bore open at one end of the rods and communicating with said first bore, said first bore being spaced at a predetermined distance from said open end, said second bore being spaced from said open end by a prearranged distance exceeding said predetermined distance, said at least one loop including a rope having an outside portion, including first and second longitudinal rope portions, and a central portion connecting said first and second portions, and first and second end portions partly disposed in said first and second bores, tied together at their extremities and crossed-over with respect to said first and second longitudinal rope portions, respectively, so that various combinations of single loop rods and double looped rods can be slid over each other in opposite directions to form knots between the adjacent ends of the rods.

Claim 10

In a chuka stick system including at least two longitudinal rods wherein at least one rod has at least one loop, and wherein at least one other rod in the combination has two loops, one loop being at each end of the other rod, the improvement comprising: first, second and third bores formed in at least one end of the rods for each loop on the rods, said first and second bores having an axis substantially perpendicular with the longitudinal direction of the rods, the third bore being a blind bore open at one end of the rods and communicating with said first bore, said first bore being spaced at a predetermined distance from said open end, said second bore being spaced from said open end by a prearranged distance exceeding said predetermined distance, said at least one loop including a rope having an outside portion, including first and second longitudinal rope portions, and a central portion connecting said first and second portions, and first and second end portions partly disposed in said first and second bores, tied together at their extremities and crossed-over with respect to said first and second longitudinal rope portions, respectively, so that various combinations of single loop rods and double looped rods can be slid over each other in opposite directions to form knots between the adjacent ends of the rods.
