LIFTING HOOK FOR LOCKING TO CARABINER

A lifting hook 100 (200, 250, 260, 270) has an inner leg 102, an outer leg 104, and a connecting part 106 connecting these legs. With respect to a worker equipped with a lever type carabiner 2(4), the inner leg 102 is located on the inner side close to the carabiner 2(4), and the outer leg 104 is located on the outer side far from the carabiner 2(4). The inner leg 102 and the outer leg 104 relatively have a height difference, and at least a portion 104main of the outer leg 104 is located higher than the inner leg 102.

COUPLERS WITH PARTIALLY OPEN GATES
20200399097 · 2020-12-24 ·

Couplers including a hook and a gate member. The hook includes a base member and a crook. The crook extends from the base member and includes a base leg, a bend, and a hook leg. The base leg extends from the base member. The bend extends in a curved path from the base leg. The hook leg extends from the bend opposite the base leg and terminates in a hook tip. The gate member is coupled to the base member where the gate member extends into the crook and terminates proximate to the hook tip. The gate member is configured to resiliently deflect away from the hook tip when an eye is selectively pressed between and the hook tip and the gate member. The gate member is biased to resiliently return to a position proximate the hook tip once the eye moves past the hook tip.

LOW PROFILE SNAP HOOK ACTUATOR FOR CHILD SEAT LATCH

A snap hook assembly includes a base assembly that has a hook at one end. A lever assembly including an actuation mechanism and an arm assembly fits through an opening defined through the base assembly. The arm assembly is positioned on one side of the base assembly and the actuation mechanism of the lever assembly is positioned on the opposite side of the base assembly. The actuation mechanism is fit within a housing so that the lever assembly may pivot with respect to the base assembly. A clasp is attached to the base assembly so that an end of the clasp is biased to contact the hook of the base assembly. When the lever assembly pivots, the arm assembly contacts and rotates the clasp to create a gap between the clasp and the hook.
