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 rope anchor with a J-shaped a body having a hook and spine. The end of the spine has an attachment hole for a rope and an elongated, teardrop-shaped rope slot that is either enclosed or gated. The gate is biased closed to span the open side of the rope slot and pushed opened to allow access for a rope. A tip, composed of a flat chip of metallic material, fits into a slot at the end of the hook. The tip is generally triangular with two or three sharp corners, or square or rectangular with four sharp corners. The slot orients the tip so that only one of the sharp corners is exposed, or so that two adjacent sharp corners are exposed. When an exposed sharp corner is not suitable for use, the tip can be reoriented to expose a different sharp corner.

A carabiner apparatus includes a carabiner body, the carabiner body having a first portion and a second portion, the first and second portion defined by a G-arm, the first portion including a carabiner opening, the G-arm adjacent to the carabiner opening. The carabiner further includes a first gate, the first gate oriented to close and open the carabiner opening. The carabiner further includes a second gate, the second gate extending from the G-arm to a portion of the carabiner body, the second gate when closed separating the first portion of the carabiner body from the second portion of the carabiner body.

A fishing rod is provided with a handle defining a receiving area. A selectively closable latch member allows for quick attachment and release from a carrying member, such as a loop on a backpack, a tackle box receptacle, towel, or other object or point of attachment. The receiving area is partially defined by an inside surface of the handle. A gap is defined by a first surface on a latch receiving portion and a second surface on a latch mount portion. A latch member is mounted on the latch mount portion for selectively obstructing the gap. The latch member may be biased towards a closed position and may have a long side and a short side for biasing the latch member towards the closed position.

The invention discloses a universal connector, a method of making it, and a method of using it, by example. In a first embodiment, a universal connector is disclosed comprising an improved carabiner that incorporates a magnet into its structure. The carabiner magnet has a force of attraction of at least 2 kilograms to enable it to connect to any magnetic material. A second of many possible embodiments discloses the addition of hook and loop tape (i.e. a Velcro® strip) to enable the universal connector to connect to any other article having hook and loop tape. A third possible embodiment discloses the addition of a loop for connection to any strap or keychain, for example. A fourth contemplated embodiment discloses the addition of male and/or female snaps.

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.

A lighting device includes a body, a lighting module, and a cap. The body includes a cavity, the cavity including an aperture. The lighting module is in the cavity and include a push button switch. The cap covers the aperture and include an outward side and an aperture side having a protrusion. The protrusion and push buttons switch are positioned such that they are proximate and when the cap is pushed inward near the protrusion, the protrusion pushes the push button switch and activates the lighting module. The cap 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 carabiner includes a carabiner body having a first opening, a first gate coupled to the carabiner body, the first gate configured to open and close the first opening, and a second gate coupled to the carabiner body, the second gate, when closed, defining a first area and a second area and, when opened, providing a second opening to the second area. The first gate, when opened, provides a first opening to the first area. The first gate is configured to open via rotation in a first rotational direction and the second gate is configured to open via rotation in the first rotational direction.

A hanger to hang an object to a support. The hanger includes an elongated base with a back, a mount that overlaps with a top section of the back, and a hook that overlaps with a bottom section of the back. A tongue is mounted to the back and extends outward from the back towards the hook. Apertures extend through the back, the tongue, and the mount, with the apertures aligned in a straight line. The base comprises a unitary, one-piece construction.

A lighting device includes a body, a lighting module, and a cap. The body may include a cavity, the cavity including an aperture. The lighting module may be in the cavity and include a push button switch. The cap may cover the aperture and include an outward side and an aperture side having a protrusion. The protrusion and push buttons switch may be positioned such that they are proximate and when the cap is pushed inward near the protrusion, the protrusion pushes the push button switch and activates the lighting module. The cap may include 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.
