A clip for releasably connecting a first component, in particular a first plate element, to a second component, in particular a second plate element, wherein the first component comprises at least one projecting edge portion, wherein the edge portion comprises a respective recess at its opposite end regions, and the second component comprises at least one elongated hole, wherein the edge portion penetrates the elongated hole in an assembled state and projects out of the elongated hole at least so far that the recesses project at least partly out of the elongated hole. The clip comprises: two longitudinal elements each having a first and a second end, wherein the two longitudinal elements are movably connected to each other at the respective first end; a closure element provided at the second end of at least one longitudinal element, wherein the closure element is configured to releasably connect the second ends of the longitudinal elements; and at least two holding segments which are provided in opposite end regions of the longitudinal elements and which are configured to be engaged with the respective recesses of the edge portion of the first component and releasably connect the components to each other.

An assembly providing a leash component, a harness component and an attachment mechanism adapted to attach the leash to the harness is provided. The leash includes two or more handles positioned along its length that may be connected together to effectively reduce the leash's length. The attachment mechanism includes guiding magnets that may facilitate the proper alignment and orientation of the mechanism during engagement between the leash and the harness. In this way, the attachment mechanism is configured to be activated using one hand.

Sister hook type tool assemblies comprise mating arms having C shape lower ends grip portions that terminate in jaws. The arms preferably are held between two spaced apart housings. The arms, and housings when present, are held together by a fastener at the upper end of the assembly. The arms pivot relative to one another and to the mated housings. Each housing has a pair of forks at one end which define a U shape opening. An object received in the opening is retained when the jaw ends arms overlappingly close the fork opening, due to action of spring. The V shape lower end contour of the mated arms and inclined surfaces of the fork tips cause a rigid object to open the jaws when the tool is thrusted at the object. The jaws then close under spring force, capturing the object. Optional locking means are used to keep the jaws from unintentionally opening.

This invention provides a combination clip and hook (clip) for use generally in suspending articles having shoulder or hand straps, or carrying other accessories, such as keys, which is rotatably movable about a rotary joint between a first position in which two opposing, rotatably joined portions of the overall clip structure are oriented together to form a continuous, enclosed shape that can be secured around another strap or loop on an item or piece of clothing, and a second position in which the two portions of the structure are rotated out of the enclosed shape, and into, for example, a substantially S-shaped hook in which one portion of the structure supports the strap of the item and the other portion can be applied to a clothing hook, chair back, table surface, door top, or other supporting member.

A hook device for bungee cords comprising a pair of opposing hooks whose bends substantially overlap when the device is in a closed configuration. The hooks may rotate away from each other into an opened configuration to enclose an object, and the hooks may rotate towards each other into a crossed configuration to provide a pull tab. The hooks are resistively held in each configuration by retaining elements. One hook may have a shallow throat to enable insertion into narrow openings.
