CATCH
The present invention provides a releasable catch, such as for releasable attachment to a dog collar or the like. In particular, the present invention provides a releasable catch comprising a body having a first elongate portion and a second elongate portion, the first and second elongate portions being engaged with one another at a pivot region and pivotable relative to one another about the pivot region between an open configuration in which the second elongate portion contacts the first elongate portion at a first contact location to define a first closed aperture adjacent the pivot region and a second open aperture distal to the pivot region, and a closed configuration in which the second elongate portion also engages the first elongate portion at a second contact location along its length and close the second aperture distal to the pivot region, and wherein the second elongate member is biased in a direction towards the second contact location so as to bias the catch in the closed configuration. Also provided is a dog lead comprising an elongate flexible portion engaged with such a releasable catch.
Riding bracket
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.
BUCKLE STRUCTURE
A buckle structure includes a hook-shaped buckle body and a movable bolt. The hook-shaped buckle body includes a question mark-shaped body and a blocking section provided at an upper end thereof, a receiving cavity is formed between the movable bolt and the question mark-shaped body. The lower end of the movable bolt is hinged at the lower end of the question mark-shaped body, the upper end of the movable bolt is elastically contacted with the upper end of the question mark-shaped body. the contact point of the movable bolt and the hook-shaped buckle body is located in the middle of the hook-shaped buckle body, so that the buckle can be easily mounted on the buckle structure as long as the buckle is sleeved on the blocking section and the buckle is moved in the direction of the receiving cavity.
Interchangeable arm quick release mechanism for chest press exercise machine
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.
Pull buckle
A pull buckle, which includes a lock body, a fastener, a first elastic member and a key assembly. The lock body is provided with a mounting cavity and an insertion port. One end of the fastener is provided with a connecting portion, which is inserted in the mounting cavity. The first elastic member is defined on a bottom wall of the mounting cavity and the bottom wall faces to the insertion port; the first elastic member contacts with the connecting portion when the fastener is inserted in the mounting cavity. The key assembly is clamped to the connecting portion so as to lock the fastener in the mounting cavity; or the key assembly is pressed to unlock the connecting portion, the first elastic member ejects the connecting portion out of the mounting cavity and releases the fastener.
CARABINER
A carabiner includes a swivel loop and a body rotatably coupled to the swivel loop about a rotational axis. The body includes a spine having a spine axis that intersects the rotational axis at an intersection point disposed within the connection between the swivel loop and the body. The carabiner also includes a captive eye formed completely within the spine. The body and the captive eye being both rotatable relative to swivel loop.
Self-locking hanging device and related methods
A self-locking device for hanging objects on a mounting surface is disclosed. The self-locking device includes a mounting bracket and a locking arm member engaged with a track portion of the mounting bracket. The track portion comprising a pair of guide portions, a pair of lip portions extending from a lower end of the guide portions, a pair of rotation portions extending from an upper end of the guide portions, and a slot extending between the pairs of guide portions, lip portions and rotation portions. The arm member being mated with the track portion such that the arm member is translatable along the track portion. The arm member comprising a tip portion, a base portion positioned at least partially within the slot, and at least two pairs of projections extending from the base portion that engage with one of the pairs of guide portions, lip portions and rotation portions.
Carabiner divider and fall arrest system
A divider (10) for a carabiner (12) in a fall arrest system (14), the carabiner (12) having a frame (32); and an openable gate (34) configured to be moved between an open position and a closed position, the divider (10) comprising a body (50) having: (i) a central body portion (52); and (ii) a plurality of connection portions (54) extending from the central body portion (52) and configured to attach the divider (10) to at least a portion of the frame (32) of the carabiner (10), wherein the plurality of connection portions (54) are spaced and divide the carabiner (12) into a plurality of areas (56) for connection of at least one component (18, 20) of the harness arrangement (16) and at least one fall arrest device (22).
Carabiner with container gate
A carabiner having a container or empty section with the gate or solid gate. The gate may have a cap with a threaded section such that when the gate is pulled away from the body, the cap may be screwed off to reveal the empty section of the gate. The empty section may store items for the user. The cap may be received into the nose section of the carabiner when the spring forces the gate closed. A fire starting implement may be provided on the carabiner. The gate may rotate inward or outward with respect to the carabiner body.
Gear sling device
A gear sling device comprises a body in the form of a hook with an opening and a gate fixed to the body. The gate is fitted movable with respect to the body between a first position closing the opening and a second position leaving the opening open. The body and gate define a ring. A loop is designed to fix the body to a belt of a harness or to a strap. The loop is partly bounded by the body. The gear sling device comprises a wire-like element fitted sliding inside a through hole passing through the body. The wire-like element extends from the through hole to a pressing area where a first end of the wire-like element pulls on the body. A clamp is configured to block the wire-like element and to define the size of the loop.
