ABSTRACT:
A snap hook comprising a bi-ended base portion, a blade portion, a re-entrant portion and a latch portion, is disclosed. The blade is integral with a first end of the base, through the re-entrant portion, thereby providing the snap hook with an aperture intermediate the base and the blade. The aperture has a mouth and two integrally formed lips. The aperture is adapted to receive a substantially cylindrical portion of a retainer therein. The latch is integral with the second end of the base and thereby provides the snap hook with a corner at the junction thereof. A free end of the blade and a free end of the latch are in distal relation to the base. A relaxed condition for the snap hook is defined to be when the distal end of the blade is above the distal end of the latch, in relation to the base. A locked condition for the snap hook is defined to be when the distal end of the blade is positioned beneath the distal end of the latch, in relation to the base. The lips are adapted to lockingly retain the above-mentioned substantially cylindrical portion of the retainer while the snap hook is in the locked condition.
