ABSTRACT:
A hooking mechanism for quick, easy and reliable securing including a shank having one end securable to a connecting member, and having first and second yoke arms extending outwardly at its opposite end. The yoke arms are curved to define a generally annular yoke but have a gap between their outermost ends. A locking member is slidable and retained by retaining member on one of the yoke arms, and is slidable into a retaining member on the other yoke arm to close the gap between the yoke arms and lock the hooking mechanism. The rear portion of the hooking member extends rearwardly from the yoke towards the shank and is slidably securable to one end of an actuator member. The actuator member is flexible yet resilient and biases the locking member to a closed position whereby the locking member is retained in the retaining of the first and second yoke arms and blocks the gap. Depression of the actuator member moves the locking member out of the retaining of the second yoke arm and opens at least a portion of the gap so that the hooking mechanism can receive a connector member to be hooked. Release of the actuator member causes the locking member to move back to the locked postion.
