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.

The present disclosure generally relates to leash apparatuses, and more particularly to leashes having a carabiner handle. The carabiner leash of the present disclosure may offer a comfortable handle, with a carabiner gate that allows pet owners the ability to attach or “park” their pet to an object without needing to unlatch the pet from the leash.

A non-frangible load release assembly having a pre-set tension for release is presented. The load release assembly comprises a snap shackle having a quick release and a link, a spring having a spring rate, and an actuating line with a length selected based on the spring rate to provide the pre-set tension for the load release assembly. The spring is attached to the link of the snap shackle. The actuating line is connected to the quick release of the snap shackle.

The invention relates to a connector for works at height, rescue or mountaineering, including climbing, in which an electronic component is present on the closing screwgate, such as an integrated circuit of the radio-frequency type, usable for the identification via computer systems and in which information relating to the connector itself and its use can be written.

A climbing instrument that comprises a first ring, a second ring that is larger than and engaged with the first ring. The second ring may comprise a gate that traverses a portion of the second ring and a rotatable cylinder that is positioned opposite the first ring and integrated within the second ring. The climbing instrument may also comprise a plurality of curved protrusions connected to and extending out and away from at least one of the first ring and the second ring.

A non-frangible load release assembly having a pre-set tension for release is presented. The load release assembly comprises a snap shackle having a quick release and a link, a spring having a spring rate, and an actuating line with a length selected based on the spring rate to provide the pre-set tension for the load release assembly. The spring is attached to the link of the snap shackle. The actuating line is connected to the quick release of the snap shackle.

A tandem pulley includes a support bracket having the shape of an inverted U. The support bracket defines a through hole. A pair of sheaves is arranged in line inside the support bracket. Each sheave is mounted rotating freely around a spindle fixed to the support bracket. A carabiner is fitted in the through hole. A connector is configured to connect the support bracket with the carabiner. The connector is configured in such a way as to allow rotation of the carabiner around an axis parallel to the spindles of the pair of sheaves. A spring is connected to the support bracket, the spring being arranged to exert a force on the carabiner biasing the latter to a rest position by rotation of the carabiner.

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, and a gate rest. 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 carabiner body is sized to accommodate an object with an aperture and a thickness, and the width is approximately less than 100% greater than the thickness.

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.

Disclosed is an underwater hook comprising a jaw latch, which, in a secured condition of the underwater hook, is releasably secured in a position closing a hook jaw. The underwater hook additionally comprises an actuation button which, for opening the jaw latch, is connected to the jaw latch in a motion-transmitting manner and occupies a closed position in the secured condition of the underwater hook. Furthermore, the underwater hook is provided with a release button blocking a movement of the actuation button away from the closed position in the secured condition of the underwater hook. In order to allow the release button to be actuated without great effort, even in the case of great forces acting on the jaw latch, the present invention provides that the release button is in engagement with the actuation button in the secured condition of the underwater hook.
