slip noose
Self-cinching knot
A slip noose is a noose with a knot that tightens when pulled, forming a loop that cinches around whatever passes through it.
The design allows the loop to slide freely along the rope until tension is applied: He fashioned a slip noose to snare rabbits.
Slip nooses are used in trapping, hanging, and restraint.
