RACKING CARABINER
20230235775 · 2023-07-27 ·

A racking carabiner includes a carabiner body with pivot end and nose end portions defining an opening. A gate pivotally connects to the body at the pivot end portion, and pivotable between closed and open positions. A gate retainer can adopt an inoperative condition, in which it presents no restriction to gate movement and an operative position in which it inhibits movement of the gate from a retained-open position towards the closed position. The retainer secures the gate in an open position for as long as it is convenient for the user. The gate clip can be returned to the inoperative condition, whereupon the carabiner gate can be opened and will spring closed as it would in a conventional racking carabiner.

CARABINER AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING

The carabiner comprises a C-shaped body (1) and a gate (2) fitted movable between an open position and a closed position. The gate (2) is fitted rotatable with respect to the body (1). The gate (2) defines a cavity (2a) receiving a spring (4). A pusher (5) presses on the body (1). The spring (4) installed in the cavity (2a) of the gate (2) presses on the gate (2) and on the pusher (5) to bias the gate (2) to the closed position. The spring (4) is a coil spring extending along the longitudinal axis of the cavity (2a). The spring (4) and pusher (5) are fixedly mounted on one another to form a monolithic assembly.

A lighting module includes a first printed circuit board (PCB) with a push button switch and a charging port, a second PCB with a light emitting diode (LED), a rechargeable battery sandwiched between the PCB's, and ring disposed between the PCB's and surrounding the battery. A device including the lighting module, a body having a cavity with an aperture, and a cap having a protrusion facing the body. The lighting module received in the cavity, with the cap covering the aperture. The protrusion and push button switch are positioned such that when the cap is pushed inward near the protrusion, the protrusion pushes the push button switch and activates the lighting module. The cap further includes a ridge surrounding the protrusion on the outward side, the ridge preventing the protrusion from being pushed into the push button switch, unless the cap is pressed at approximately a location of the protrusion.

A ratchet keychain attachment includes a body and a ratcheting area in the body. The ratchet keychain attachment further includes a bit holder, the bit holder pivotally mounted in the body. The ratchet keychain attachment further includes a bit, removably located in the bit holder, the bit holder having a first position where the bit is held in a non-removable position in the bit holder and a second position where the bit is in a removable position.

LANYARD ASSEMBLY
20230054395 · 2023-02-23 ·

A lanyard assembly and apparatus incorporating a lanyard assembly are disclosed. The lanyard assembly includes an elongate lanyard that includes a chain of multiple interconnected links, including an end link that forms one end of the chain and a second link immediately adjacent in the chain to the end link. A terminator includes a terminator body having a lanyard recess, in a floor of which a chain recess is formed. At least the end link is received within which chain recess. A retainer passes through the end link to prevent its removal from the chain recess. A connector element can be connected to an object to effect connection of the lanyard assembly to that object. The connector element is typically connected to the terminator body though an intermediate component, such as a swivel.
