RACKING CARABINER
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.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A LOCKING CARABINER
A locking carabiner system and methods comprising a frame, gates and a gate biasing apparatus that includes a wire formed gate pivotably attached to the carabiner frame which can be rotated between two positions with movement from either position to the other position opposed by a biasing force, such force undergoing a change in the direction of bias as the gate is pivoted from one position to the other position resulting in two separate and distinct stable gate positions. Among other uses, such a gate can form a locking mechanism when in a first position it obstructs other gates from operating until it is rotated to the second position. The inventive locking mechanism can be incorporated into carabiners and other attachment devices to prevent the accidental opening of gates and to ensure that attached ropes, keys and other articles remain secured.
CARABINER LEASH HANDLE
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.
CONNECTOR WITH GATE
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.
Double locking snap hook
A snap hook with front and rear locks that must be disengaged for the gate to open. The body has a base and a J-shaped hook. A gate has two parallel, spaced fingers extending from an end of a gate arm. As the gate pivots between open and closed positions, a stop pin extending between the arms and through a curved slot in the body slides within the curved slot. A front lock pivots between a locking position, where shoulders in the gate arms abut an edge on the front lock, preventing the gate from pivoting open, and an unlocking position, where the shoulder does not abut the front lock edge. The rear lock pivots between a locking position, where the curved slots on the rear lock are not aligned with body curved slot, and an unlocking position, where the curved slots are aligned, and the gate can pivot open.
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.

Anti-Torque Safety Hook
An anti-torque safety hook includes a main body, a gate member, and a detent member. The main body has a hook opening passing through the front and back sides thereof, a passage communicating to the right side of the hook opening, a female buckle arranged on the passage, a connection unit 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 female buckle, so as to allow the gate member to open and close the passage. The detent member is coupled on the main body and maintained at a first position, so as for ensuring that the gate member closes the passage, while when the detent member is operated and switched to a second position, the safety is disarmed. The present invention mainly utilizes the detent member to ensure the gate member to close the passage. When the main body bears the designated torque, the energy absorption area allows the main body to distort in response while the gate member may still close the passage, so as to prevent the risk of decoupling and in order to meet the standard of ANSI/ASSP Z359.12-2019.
Sling gear for single-arm operation by a remotely controlled gripper, in particular of a remotely controlled vehicle
A sling gear (1) for single-arm operation by a remotely controlled gripper may have a closure (4) that can be moved from a closed position (5) into an open position (82), a sling body (2) that is closed in the closed position (5) of the closure (4) and open in the open position (82), and an push-button (18) for opening the closure (4). The push-button (18) may have a gear section (68), which couples the closure (4) with the push-button (18), by transmitting movement. In order to improve the reliability in operation, also under adverse circumstances, for example in a heavily soiled environment on the seabed, the push-button (18) may be equipped with an locking area (56), which, in the closed position (5), is to be found engaged with the closure (4), and locks the closure (4) in the closed position (5).
Weight bearing fall protection connector having a wireless fall indicator
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.
