ABSTRACT:
A handle member, providing a hand gripping section connected to a linking section, is coupled to a hook member, providing a shank region and a point-bearing region such that the hook member may overlay the handle member in a pocket-sized storage or carrying arrangement, said handle member shielding a point of said hook member from accidental engagement with the user in said carrying arrangement. Several shapes of handle members include triangular, hexagonal, rectangular, trapezoidal, or elliptical. Several configurations or hook members include an angularly offset, transverse point-bearing region, a substantially linear shank merging with an arcuate point-bearing region, or a hook member having a plurality of linear segments each angularly offset from adjacent segments. The hook member may be linked directly to the handle member by a loop formed on the shank of the hook member engaging with the linking region of the handle member, or it may be coupled to the handle member by a length of cable, rope, or chain. A swivel link may also be used for coupling the hook member to the handle member. Multiple embodiments are formed by combination of a selected handle member with a selected hook member, coupled together by a selected coupling approach.
