A sealed greasable swivel connector for underground use in directional drilling operations. The swivel connector has first and second swivel heads with pulling eyes. The first swivel head is pressfit into a tubular member and welded in place. The second swivel head is welded to a bolt in a bearing arrangement which is sealed with a bushing in the tubular member and allows for rotational movement between the first swivel head/tubular member and second swivel head/bolt. A zerk fitting is provided in first swivel head for flushing any drilling mud through the bushing that may find its way into the connector out of the tubular member.

An attachment point with a lower part having connection means for connecting the attachment point to an object to be handled, and with an upper part which is rotatable relative to the lower part and connected thereto. The upper part has a connection element for connecting a lifting, attachment or lashing means. The upper part has a bearing surface that tapers conically in the axial direction, and the lower part has a bearing surface that tapers conically in the same direction. Roller bearing bodies are arranged between the two bearing surfaces. Each roller bearing body has a form defined by an axis of rotation thereof and a rotationally symmetrical lateral surface. The axes of rotation of the roller bearing bodies are aligned in the direction of the conical taper of the bearing surfaces and angled relative to the axis of rotation of the upper part relative to the lower part.

A swivel snaphook has a hook and a retainer. The retainer comprises a support portion and a strap mounting portion. The support portion has a base body connected to the strap mounting portion, a through hole passing through the base body, and a snap-in portion protruding from the surface of the base body and surrounding the through hole. The hook has a hook and connector portion and an engaging portion. The engaging portion has a connecting shaft connected to the hook and connector portion, and a snap-on portion. When the hook and the retainer are snap-fitted together, the snap-on portion surrounds the snap-in portion and fits with the snap-in portion in an inverted manner.

The present disclosure describes an anchoring assembly implementable for lifting weight and also anchor point for height access or fall-protection. The disclosed assembly generally comprises a stud with an external elongate surface carrying a screw thread, and a through tunnel fabricated on the stud intersecting and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the stud; a construct comprising an eyelet enclosing an opening and a pair of holder members extending out from the eyelet, each of the holder members defining an aperture at its center axis and the defined aperture being of a diameter 0.1 to 2 mm greater than the diameter of the stud, the holder members being axially aligned with a cavity of a predetermined length spacing each other for receiving the stud through the apertures; a nut having a sidewall defining an internally threaded passage, the nut being securable onto the stud through the screw thread and resided within the cavity to interpose between the paired holder members, the nut carrying a pair of axially aligned and radially extending through holes on the sidewall, the through holes being adjustable to align with the through tunnel forming a continuous passage thereof; and a pivot pin fillable into the passage across the through holes and the through tunnel to lock the nut to the stud. The eyelet of the disclosed assembly is configured to be rotatable around the longitudinal axis of the stud and the locked nut impedes the construct to move along longitudinal axis of the stud.

Novel tools and techniques for a multiple pet restraint are provided. A system includes a main line having a proximate end and a distal end, three or more lead lines, each of the three or more lead lines having a respective proximate end and a respective distal end, and a swivel assembly configured to prevent the three or more lead lines from becoming entangled. The swivel assembly further includes a main line connector and a lead connector. The main line connector and the lead connector are configured to rotate independently about an at least one axis, and to allow the three or more lead lines to rotate about the at least one axis independent of the main line.

A connecting device for a carabiner, comprising a first connection part for connecting said device to a base member and at least two second connection parts for connecting said device to at least two carabiners. The device is characterized in that said at least two second connection parts each are a rotatable or tiltable connection part. Preferably, said second connection parts each are embodied as a concave socket for coupling to a carabiner comprising a convex body.

An end link for use with heavy equipment includes a body and a swivel ball bushing. The body has first and second openings and defines a main body plane. The first opening has a slot located on a side thereof proximate the second opening and a truncated substantially spherical inner surface. The swivel ball bushing is seated within the first opening. The swivel ball bushing has a truncated substantially spherical outer surface in nesting engagement with the inner surface of the body and a projection at one end seated in the slot. The projection and slot are shaped to allow rotation of the swivel ball bushing relative to the body in two opposing directions about one axis of rotation or two mutually perpendicular axes of rotation.
