ABSTRACT:
A spring biased snap hook having a body fabricated from a developed sheet metal blank. The body has a pair of recessed areas extending inwardly from one edge thereof and this one edge also includes locking member receiving areas spaced longitudinally therealong. An elongated locking member is received in these receiving areas and is longitudinally movable along the one body edge between a first position blocking access to both recess areas and a second position providing access to one of the recessed areas. A spring bias continuously urges the locking member toward the first position. A handle or keeper member is releasably affixed to the outermost end of the locking member to retain this member in operable association with the body. Removal of the handle or keeper permits the locking member to be moved longitudinally along the one body edge in a direction opposite to the movement thereof from the first to the second position in order to provide selective access to the other of the recess areas.
