A connector apparatus includes a first connector and a second connector. A housing defines a first channel and a second channel and a locking mechanism configured to secure one of the first and second connectors within the first channel or the second channel. The locking mechanism includes a disk with a rotational stop, and a latch arm pivotable between at least a latched position and an unlatched position. When the first connector is secured within the first channel by the disk and the second connector is inserted into the second channel, the second connector actuates the latch arm towards the unlatched position such that the disk is enabled to pivot and secure the second connector to the housing while simultaneously releasing the first connector from the housing.

A securement device is disclosed to aid in the movement or suspension of equipment or people through the air or along inclined surfaces using rope, cable, wire, or similar component and associated lifting, winching, lowering devices, mechanical advantage systems or manual power by retaining a system component between a yoke and a load pin using a load pin assembly. The load pin is biased into a locked position through the use of a biasing member but may be moved from a locked position to a retracted position by journaling a lock pin through a lock slot. Some embodiments restrict movement of the load pin using a track pin and a track slot, while other embodiments use the interaction of a lock ring and a keyed recess formed in the yoke. The securement device may be incorporated as part of a rigging plate.

A fastening device including a back plate, a rear cover and an elastic piece is provided. The rear cover is arranged on the back plate and has a protruding portion. The elastic piece is arranged between the back plate and the rear cover. The elastic piece has a first opening, and the protruding portion passes through the first opening, and the first opening is a tooth-shaped structure.
