ABSTRACT:
A guard for a swing connection comprised of a hook which hooks through the eye of a connector member includes a pair of rigid shells which are slotted at their edges to provide clearance for the hook and the connector member so that the shells can be clamped to opposite sides of the hook and engaged together edge to edge so as to form an enclosure which completely surrounds the hook and its connection to the connector member. The guard prevents finger injuries due to the pinch point at the connection between the hook and the connector member. It also maintains the relative position of the hook and connector member so that the connector member cannot become disengaged accidentally from the hook. In addition, the guard may be shaped and its exterior surface treated so that the guard adds a decorative element to the swing connection.
