A hook in conjunction with an element to be inserted into the hook interior has an opening, via which opening the element can be inserted into the hook interior, wherein a hook partial region adjoining the opening includes an adhesion element having an adhesion surface directed toward the element and/or the element includes an adhesion element having an adhesion surface directed toward the hook partial region adjoining the opening.

Double-lock carabiner
10544822 · 2020-01-28 · ·

A locking carabiner includes a body having a first end and a second end. A gate rotatably coupled to the second end about a gate axis, and a locking mechanism rotatably coupled to the gate about a locking mechanism axis. The locking member is configured to engage with the first end, and the gate axis is substantially parallel to, and offset from, the locking mechanism axis. Additionally, the rotation of the locking mechanism is in a substantially similar plane as the rotation of the gate.

FALL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT CONNECTION STATUS AND CONTROL
20200016439 · 2020-01-16 ·

Techniques are described for monitoring and controlling fall protection equipment. For example, the techniques of this disclosure may be used to monitor the connection status of fall protection equipment, e.g., whether or not the fall protection equipment is connected to a support structure. The techniques of this disclosure may also be used to control the operation of the fall protection equipment based on the connection status.

INTERCHANGEABLE ARM QUICK RELEASE MECHANISM FOR CHEST PRESS EXERCISE MACHINE
20200003250 · 2020-01-02 · ·

A quick release mechanism for an exercise arm assembly enabling a user to switch exercise arms very quickly, the mechanism having: (a) an elongated body; (b) a curved aperture passing laterally across a distal end of the elongated body, cutting downwardly through the elongated body, and being angled towards the distal end of the elongated body; (c) a button assembly positioned near the distal end of the elongated body, moveable to either project into or project away from the aperture; and a biasing member that urges the extending portion of the button assembly into the locked position.

Cushioned carabiner clip
10514057 · 2019-12-24 ·

The present invention relates to an improved carabiner system, including an impact-dampening cushion around the external surface of the frame for cushioning damage during a fall or collision and to reduce sound from loose or swinging carabiner collisions. Additional surface routing and through holes provide improved register between the carabiner frame and the over-molded cushion layer.

QUICK CONNECT SYSTEM FOR INDUSTRIAL AND CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT
20190382253 · 2019-12-19 ·

A quick-connect connection system assembly for attaching attachments or tools to industrial and construction equipment for purposes of moving and placing materials and items, particularly heavy items, at varying heights relative to the ground. The connection system can have a mounting mechanism that generally comprises a rotatable latch that can be selectively retained in at least one of an open position and a closed position, including through the use of a magnet coupled with the mounting mechanism. The rotatable latch can be selectively rotated between the open and closed positioned via interaction with a cross member of the industrial equipment and the effect of forces acting upon the rotatable latch member, and with limited interaction by an operator of the industrial equipment.

Anti-torque safety hook

An anti-torque safety hook includes a main body, a gate member, and a detent member. The main body has a hook opening passing through the front and back sides thereof, a passage communicating to the right side of the hook opening, a female buckle arranged on the passage, a connection unit arranged below the hook opening, and an energy absorption area arranged on the left side of the hook opening. The gate member has a first end mounted on the main body and a second end comprising a male buckle, adapted for detachably coupled with the female buckle, so as to allow the gate member to open and close the passage. The detent member is coupled on the main body and maintained at a first position, so as for ensuring that the gate member closes the passage, while when the detent member is operated and switched to a second position, the safety is disarmed. The present invention mainly utilizes the detent member to ensure the gate member to close the passage. When the main body bears the designated torque, the energy absorption area allows the main body to distort in response while the gate member may still close the passage, so as to prevent the risk of decoupling and in order to meet the standard of ANSI/ASSP Z359.12-2019.
