ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a snap hook assembly for a luggage, and more particularly to a snap hook assembly for a luggage, wherein the first suspension block and the second suspension block of the suspension member are combined with each other rigidly and stably, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the snap hook assembly.
2. Description of the Related Art
A conventional snap hook assembly for a luggage in accordance with the prior art shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2
comprises a suspension member
20
, a hook member
10
, and a locking member
22
.
The suspension member
20
is formed with a receiving recess
27
and two protruding stubs
23
. The hook member
10
has an upper end formed with a protrusion
11
and a pin
12
mounted in the receiving recess
27
and a lower end formed with a hook
15
. A catch key
14
is pivotally mounted on the hook member
10
by a fixing pin
18
which is extended through a through hole
13
of the hook member
10
. A torsion spring
16
is mounted in a receiving space of the hook member
10
and urged between the hook member
10
and the catch key
14
. The locking member
22
is secured on the suspension member
20
and rested on the hook member
10
, for securing the hook member
10
on the suspension member
20
. The locking member
22
is formed with two through holes
25
combined with the two protruding stubs
23
. Each of the suspension member
20
and the locking member
22
has a periphery formed with a lug
28
.
However, when the hook member
10
is subjected to a gravity load, all of the gravity load is concentrated on the protruding stubs
23
of the suspension member
20
, so that the protruding stubs
23
of the suspension member
20
are easily broken during a long-term utilization, thereby wearing the whole conventional snap hook assembly, and thereby decreasing the lifetime thereof. In addition, the receiving recess
27
has a dimension greater than that of the protrusion
11
and the pin
12
, so that the locking member
22
is combined with the suspension member
20
rigidly. In such a manner, the hook member
10
is loosely mounted between the locking member
22
and the suspension member
20
, so that the hook member
10
easily sways or oscillate, thereby causing inconvenience in use.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is to mitigate and/or obviate the disadvantage of the conventional snap hook assembly for a luggage.
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a snap hook assembly for a luggage, wherein the first suspension block and the second suspension block of the suspension member are combined with each other rigidly and stably, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the snap hook assembly.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a snap hook assembly for a luggage, wherein the first suspension block and the second suspension block are symmetric with each other, so that when the hook member is subjected to a gravity load, the gravity load is evenly distributed on the first suspension block and the second suspension block, thereby increasing the lifetime of the snap hook assembly.
A further objective of the present invention is to provide a snap hook assembly for a luggage, wherein the receiving chamber of the suspension member has a dimension flush with the hook member, so that the first protrusion and the second protrusion of the hook member are respectively secured on the first reinforcement rib and the second reinforcement rib of the suspension member rigidly and stably, and the hook member is supported by the suspension member rigidly and stably without movement or vibration.
A further objective of the present invention is to provide a snap hook assembly for a luggage, wherein the first protrusion and the second protrusion of the hook member are circular, so that the hook member can be rotated relative to the suspension member.
A further objective of the present invention is to provide a snap hook assembly for a luggage, wherein the catch key has an outer periphery formed with an anti-skid rib, thereby facilitating the user pushing the catch key.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a snap hook assembly for a luggage, comprising a suspension member, and a hook member, wherein:
the suspension member includes a first suspension block and a second suspension block combined with each other, each of the first suspension block and the second suspension block has a lower end formed with a receiving chamber, the receiving chamber of each of the first suspension block and the second suspension block has an inner wall formed with a first reinforcement rib and a second reinforcement rib; and
the hook member is mounted on the suspension member and includes a main body having an upper end formed with an insertion pin mounted in the receiving chamber of the suspension member and a lower end formed with a hook protruding outward from the receiving chamber of the suspension member, the insertion pin is formed with a first protrusion secured on the first reinforcement rib of the suspension member and a second protrusion secured on the second reinforcement rib of the suspension member.
