In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful for stable hanging of objects with relatively wide hanging surfaces. In some embodiments, hangers are described herein with a platform hanging portion that provides a user with a wide hanging surface that can be used to support the relatively wide hanging surfaces. The platform portion can further restrict movement of the object, such as laterally and/or forwardly/rearwardly.

RACKING CARABINER
20230235775 · 2023-07-27 ·

A racking carabiner includes a carabiner body with pivot end and nose end portions defining an opening. A gate pivotally connects to the body at the pivot end portion, and pivotable between closed and open positions. A gate retainer can adopt an inoperative condition, in which it presents no restriction to gate movement and an operative position in which it inhibits movement of the gate from a retained-open position towards the closed position. The retainer secures the gate in an open position for as long as it is convenient for the user. The gate clip can be returned to the inoperative condition, whereupon the carabiner gate can be opened and will spring closed as it would in a conventional racking carabiner.

S-HOOK LATCH
20230003062 · 2023-01-05 · ·

A latching mechanism is described comprising: a latching component and a retaining component; wherein the latching component comprises means for receiving a hook in use, and a pivoting feature which is configured to allow said latching component to pivot relative to said retaining component.

Footman loop clip
11566653 · 2023-01-31 · ·

A footman loop clip includes a body and a bend formed in the body such that an end of the body is inboard of the bend, the body having an aperture. A pin passes through the aperture and has a pin head on one end, and a pull feature on the other end. A spring biases the pull feature toward the body. The pull feature is biased toward the body and when the pull feature is pulled a gap is formed and increased between the pin head and the end of the body.

CONVERTIBLE METAL BACKINGS AND RELATED METHODS
