錨 | An AttachingDevice which is large hook or set of hooks that are used to secure a WaterVehicle on the open water. |
| Bolt | Any AttachingDevice that is designed to mate with a MechanicalNut thereby Attaching two Objects. This includes nuts with hexagonal heads that must be held or turned by a Wrench or Screwdriver as well as those that have round heads but some non-round feature that is designed to catch on the material being attached, and therefore prevent rotation, as in a carriage bolt. Bolts are distinguished from Screws in that screws must create a mating surface by gouging a thread into material, whereas bolts are designed to slip through a hole and are held in place by a nut at the opposite end from the head of the bolt. This includes threaded rods that may have nuts as spacers for freely rotating items. |
| 按鍵 | An AttachingDevice that is used on Clothing. |
| 鉗 | An AttachingDevice which is designed to attach two things together by means of a movable part which can be tightened or loosened. |
| 膠 | Any Mixture whose purpose is to be used as the instrument of Attaching one thing to another. |
| MechanicalNut | Any object with threads designed to mate with those of a Bolt. This includes any large object with a region that functions as a nut. However, it does not include regions of objects where a screw has created a threaded area and where typically therefore the material is soft enough that retracting and reinserting a screw may create a different thread pattern. This can also be contrasted with regions that are created to be nuts by the use of a MechanicalTap and MechanicalDie set. |
| 釘 | An AttachingDevice which is a thin piece of metal, with or without a head, that is fastened with a Hammer. |
| 螺絲 | An AttachingDevice which contains a spiral of grooves to hold it in place and which is fastened with a Screwdriver. |
| 膠帶 | A thin strip of Fabric or Paper that is used to attach two things. |
