An embodiment personal item management apparatus includes a wearable band having a fixed circumference that defines a first outer diameter; and a clasp coupled to the wearable band, the clasp having a second outer diameter that is less than the first outer diameter and being adapted to couple a personal item to the wearable band. In an exemplary embodiment, the ratio of the second outer diameter to the first outer diameter is about 0.4.

A lanyard assembly including a strap having a first end and a second end, an attachment mechanism coupled to the first end and a quick connect attachment mechanism connected to the second end. The quick connect attachment mechanism includes a swivel member and a cinch for securing a tool coupled to the swivel member. The swivel member is configured to allow rotation between the cinch and the strap and the quick connect attachment mechanism can be quickly engaged and disengaged from the strap to allow the quick connection of various tools.

An anti-torque safety hook includes a main body and a gate member. The main body has a hook opening, an opening communicating to the right side of the hook opening, a hook nose arranged above the opening, a hook eye 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 hook nose to allow the gate member to open and close the opening. When the main body bears a lateral load of 3000 pounds, the energy absorption area allows the main body to distort in response while the gate member may still close the opening to prevent the risk of decoupling and in order to meet the standard of ANSI/ASSP Z359.12-2019.

The lifting hook can be attached to an overhead support member in an easy and safe manner by an operator standing on the ground.

Embodiments are directed to a carabiner that includes a carabiner body forming an opening having a width, the carabiner body including a gate rest notch, a gate rest and a long side, with the opening opposite the long side. The carabiner further includes a pivotable gate coupled to the carabiner body at a pivotable point and adapted to contact the gate rest notch when in a closed position. The opening includes a first side and a second side, the first side including a first angle that is non-perpendicular to the long side of the carabiner body and the second side including a second angle that is non-perpendicular to the long side of the carabiner body.

Horse-riding stirrup comprising a stirrup frame (2) which comprises a hooking portion (4) to a stirrup leather (100), a first side arm (6) and a support arm (8) connected to each other in an incident manner to define a frame compartment (10) engageable by a user's foot; a second side arm (12) comprising an articulation end (14) pivoted to the stirrup frame, and a free end (16) rotatable between a coupling configuration to the support arm and a release configuration therefrom in which the arm is spaced from the support arm to create a lateral disengagement opening (18) of the foot from the compartment. The second side arm comprises a flexible portion (20) which in the coupling configuration presses the free end in abutment with the support arm and which, in order to achieve the release configuration, allows the second side arm to bend in part to snap-disengage the free end from the support arm.

Horse-riding stirrup (1) comprising a stirrup frame (2) which comprises a hooking portion (4) to a stirrup leather (100), a first side arm (6) and a support arm (8) connected to each other in an incident manner to define a frame compartment (10) engageable by a user's foot; a support element (42) for the user's foot, fitted to the support arm (8) and shape-coupled with an element seat (44) of said arm; The element seat (44) is delimited by an undercut portion (46) which a portion (48) of the support element (42) is wedged into on one side, another portion (50) of said element (42) being constrained to the support arm (8) by means of one or more mechanical fastenings (52) which extend through the thickness of the stirrup frame (2). The invention also relates to an assembly method of a stirrup.

A wearable lightweight fire fighter's personal escape system and method includes a rope, having a distal and proximal end, organized in parallel segments disposed in an inner pouch. The inner pouch is entirely contained in an outer pouch that is appointed to be removably attached to a belt or harness, worn by a fire fighter. The proximal end of the rope exits through an opening in the inner pouch and outer pouch and is attached directly to a lightweight hook, or optionally enters a belay device. The hook has a sharp point for creating a purchase point on soft surfaces, a hook opening having sufficient diameter to surround radiators, steam pipe and the like, and capture rope that surrounds substantial objects. The hook has a central opening appointed for holding a firefighting tool to aid in creating a substantial object. The fire fighter escapes by creating a purchase point and repelling at a high speed or at a controlled speed by adjusting belay friction.

Carabiners having locking systems of the type called key-lock for mountaineering and climbing are provided. Such carabiners include those having a ring with a side, interrupted by an opening delimited by a first and a second end, wherein said opening is closed by a spring closing element which can take an open position and a closed position, wherein the first end of the ring comprises a bulb-shaped hooking portion, with the projecting part in a direction transverse to the plane of the carabiner, wherein the coupling portion on both sides of the bulb includes a shoulder having an uneven surface.

A weight bearing fall protection connector includes a first connection member configured to attach the connector to a piece of fall protection equipment, and a second connection member configured to attach the connector to another piece of all equipment, with the connection members fixed to each other to transfer the weight of a worker in a fall event and for movement relative to each other between a ready position and a fall position. The connector further includes a breakable component having a retaining condition wherein the component maintains the members in a ready position and broken condition wherein the component allows the members to move to their fall position. The connector further includes a wireless fall indicator including a wireless transmitter and a switch configured to activate the wireless transmitter in response to movement of the members from the ready position to the fall position.
