DESCRIPTION OF TE~E PRE~ERRED EMBODIMENTS
As shown in FIGS. 1 through 3, a swivel hook assembly . .
10 has a connector 11 of an inverted U shape composed of a horizontal bar 12 and a palr of laterally spaced legs 13, 14 mounted on the connector 11 at opposite ends thereof and extending vertically downwardly parallel to each other.
The horizontal bar 12 and the vertical legs 13 are integrally molded of synthe~ic resin. The bar 12 will be attached to an end of a carrying or shoulder strap of a bag, for example. The bar 12 is thinner than the legs 13, : . : . . . : .

: . ' . : -: ' . .
14, as illustrated in FIG. 3.
The swivel hook assembly 10 also comprises a horizontal elongate support 15 of synthetic resin spaced downwardly from the horizontal bar 12 in parallel relationship and including a central portion 16 and a pair of coaxial shafts 17, 18 extending from opposite ends thereof. The sha~ts 17, 18 are rotatably journalled respectively in holes 19, 20 defined in the legs 13, 14.
Therefore, the support 15 is rotata~le rela~ively to the connector 11 about the axes of the shafts 17, 18.
The central portion 16 includes a main body 21, a pair of upper and lower thinner ribs 22, 23 on the main body 21, and a pair of end flanges 24, 25 on opposite ends of the main body 21, the shafts 17, 18 projecting from the flanges 24, 25, respecti~ely. The central portion 16 has a recess 26 defined longitudinally centrally therein and extendinq from an upper edge of the central portion 16 transversely to a substantially central position therein.
The central portion 16 also includes a horiæontal circular seat 27 disposed downwardly of the recess 26 and projecting transversely on opposite sides of the central portion 16, the horizontal circular seat 27 having an upper surface lying flush with the bottom of the recess 26. The horizontal circular se2t 27 has a central vertical through hole 28 coaxial therewith in communication with the recess 26. The through hole 2B has a diameter smaller than the length of the recess 26 in the longitudinal direction of .
' .
- .
~.~ 7 9 the central portion 16.
A hook 29 co~prises a head 30, a hook body 31 extending downwardly from the head 30, and a locking bar 32 extending downwardly from the head 30 for closing an opening 33 defined by the hook body 31, the head 30, the hook body 31 and the locking bar 32 being integrally molded of synthetic resin. As better shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the head 30 is composed~of four locking members 34 angularly equally spaced and separate-d by a cross-shaped slot 35.
Each of the locking members 34 has a neck 36 and a retainer 37 tapered off toward its end remote from the neck 36, the retainer 37 hav.ing a donwardly facing shoulder 38. ~he locking bar 32 has an upper end ingegral with the head 30 and a lower distal end 39 enyageable with a distal end 40 of the hook body 31.
The head 30 has a diameter around the necks 36 which is slightly smaller than the diameter of the hole 28 in the horizontal circular seat 27, and a maximum diameter around the loc~ing members 34 which is larger than the diameter of the hole 28. The axial length of the retainers 37 is such that when they are placed on the circular seat 27 with the necks 36 in the hole 28, the retainers 37 do not project out of the recess 26.
For mounting the hook 29 on the support 15, the retainers 37 are forced through the hole 28 while the locking members 34 xesiliently flex radially inwardly in the hole 28 until the retainers 37 emerge out of the hole . - .
.. . . .

.
28, whereupon the retainers 37 snap radially outwardly with the shoulders 38 thereof held against the upper surface of the circular seat 27 and the bottom of the recess 26. The necks 36 of the head 3~ are now located within the hole 28.
Once the retainers 37 are fully positioned in the recess 26, they are prevented by the shoulders 38 from slipping out through the hole 28. Therefore, the hook 29 is securely mounted on the support 15. Since the diameter of the head 30 around the necks 36 is smaller than the diameter of the hole 38, the hook 29 can ro~ate about its OWIl axis with respect to the support 15. The support 15 as mounted on the connector 11 is also xotatable about the axes of the shafts 17, 18. This construction allows the hook 29 to rotate about two perpendicular axes relative to the connector 11.
FIG. 7 illustrates a mold die 41 for simultaneouly molding one of the legs 14 and a correspondi~g one of the shafts 18 placed therein in one step of molding operation.
The mold die 41 includes a hollow cylindrical projection 42 having an outer peripheral profile complementary to the hole 20 in the leg 14 and an inner cylindrical cavity 43 complementary in shape to the shaf~ 18, the hollow cylindrical projection 42 having an axial length equal to the thickness of the leg 14. During molding ~peration, the shaft 18 is formed in the cavity 43 while at the same time a cylindrical surface of the leg 14 defining the hole 20 is formed by the outer periphery of the hollow cylindrical . ," . . ' ~- ' . :
-, " .
.
" ' ' ' ' , ' projection 42. Another identical mold die is employed to mold the leg 13 and the associated shaf~ 17 at the same time. These two mold dies are part of a mold die assembly for simultaneously molding the connector 11 and the support 15 in an assembled state.
The connec~or 11 and the support 15 can therefore be combined with each other in a single step of molding operation. The support 15 thus molded simultaneously with the connector 11 is nevertheless rotatable relatively to the connector 11. With such an arrangement, n~ sepàrate steps of moldin~ the connec~or 11 and ~he support 15 and then assembling them together are necessary. After the connector 11 and the support 15 have been molded in a combined state, the hook 29 is mounted on the support 15 in the manner described above. Consequently, the overall process for assembling the swivel hook assembly 10 is quite simplified and ~uch less costly as only the hook 29 needs to be attached to the support 15 that has already been combined with the connector 11 in a molding process.
The hook 29 is molded separately from the connector 11 and the support 15. A mold die for forming the hook 29 has mold cavities respectively for molding the hook body 31 in the solid-line position shown in FIG. 2 and the locking bar 32 in the two-dot-a~d-dash-line position. As molded, therefore, the l~c~ing bar 32 has its distal end spaced from the distal end 40 of the hook body 31. The locking bar 32 as thus formed is then elastically bent from the `: ' ' ' two-dot-and-dash-line position in a direction normal to the sheet of FIG. 2, and forced against its own resiliency in the direction of ~he arrow ~4 to the solid-line position in which the distal end of the locking bar 32 is engaged by the distal end 40. The distal end of the locking bar 32 is now forcibly pressed against the distal end 40 under the resiliency of the locking bar 32.
The swivel hook assembly 10 is composed of a reduced number of parts, that is, only ~he connector 11, the support 1`5, and the hook 29, and can be assembled with utmost ease and less costly. Since all of the components are made of synthetic resin, they can be injection-molded in large quantities and hence inexpensively, can be colored as desired to meet user~s various color preferences in vogue.
FIGS. 8 through 11 show a swivel hook assembly, generally indicated at 50, according to another embodiment of the present invention. The swivel hook assembly 50 is composed of a connector 51 of an inverted U shape and an integral T-shaped hook and support combination 52 having a horizontal support 53 and a hook 54. The connector 51 has a horizontal bar 55 and a pair of latera~ly spaced legs 56, 57 with holes 58, 5g defined therein, respectively, in coaxial alignment. The hori zontal ~upport 53 includes a pair of opposite shafts 60, 61 rotatably fitted in the holes 58, 59, respectively. The T-shaped hook and support combination ~2 is therefore rotatable about the axes of the ~ ~ ' . ' .
.' ` .. ~ ' ' -`
" -" - ' . ' . ' ' ~ ' ' ,' .:
. ~' ' ' ' ' .
shafts 60, 61 relatiYely to ~he connector 51. The hook 54 has an up~er end integrally joined to ~he support 53 and extends perpendicularly from a longitudinally central portion of the horizontal support 53.
The connector 51 and the hook and support combination 52 can be integrally molded of synthetic resin simultaneously in a ~ingle step of operation by a mold die assembly ~ncluding mold dies such as shown in FIG. 7. As molded, the hook and support combinati~n ~2 is rotatable about the axes of the shafts 60, 61 xelatively to the connector 51. The hook 54 has a distal end 62 and a lockin~ bar 63 which is resiliently brought in~o engagement with the distal end 62 as ~hown in FIG. 9, after the hook 54 has been molded. The swivel hook assembly 50 is composed of only two parts, the connector 55 and the hook and support combination 52 which are molded at the same time in an assembled condition. The only step of completing the swivel hook assembly 50 is to engage the locking bar 63 with the distal end 62 of the hook 54.
~herefore, the swivel hook assembly 50 can more easily be fabricated than the swivel hook assembly 10 illustrated in FIG. 1.
Although various minor mvdifications may be 8uggested by those versed in the art~ it should be understood that I wish to embody within the scope of the patent which may issue hereon, all such embodiments are reasonably and properly come within the scope of my contribution to the art.

The horizontal bar 12 and the vertical legs 13 are integrally molded of synthe~ic resin. The bar 12 will be attached to an end of a carrying or shoulder strap of a bag, for example. The bar 12 is thinner than the legs 13, : . : . . . : .

The swivel hook assembly 10 also comprises a horizontal elongate support 15 of synthetic resin spaced downwardly from the horizontal bar 12 in parallel relationship and including a central portion 16 and a pair of coaxial shafts 17, 18 extending from opposite ends thereof. The sha~ts 17, 18 are rotatably journalled respectively in holes 19, 20 defined in the legs 13, 14.
Therefore, the support 15 is rotata~le rela~ively to the connector 11 about the axes of the shafts 17, 18.
The central portion 16 includes a main body 21, a pair of upper and lower thinner ribs 22, 23 on the main body 21, and a pair of end flanges 24, 25 on opposite ends of the main body 21, the shafts 17, 18 projecting from the flanges 24, 25, respecti~ely. The central portion 16 has a recess 26 defined longitudinally centrally therein and extendinq from an upper edge of the central portion 16 transversely to a substantially central position therein.
The central portion 16 also includes a horiæontal circular seat 27 disposed downwardly of the recess 26 and projecting transversely on opposite sides of the central portion 16, the horizontal circular seat 27 having an upper surface lying flush with the bottom of the recess 26. The horizontal circular se2t 27 has a central vertical through hole 28 coaxial therewith in communication with the recess 26. The through hole 2B has a diameter smaller than the length of the recess 26 in the longitudinal direction of .

~.~ 7 9 the central portion 16.
A hook 29 co~prises a head 30, a hook body 31 extending downwardly from the head 30, and a locking bar 32 extending downwardly from the head 30 for closing an opening 33 defined by the hook body 31, the head 30, the hook body 31 and the locking bar 32 being integrally molded of synthetic resin. As better shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the head 30 is composed~of four locking members 34 angularly equally spaced and separate-d by a cross-shaped slot 35.
Each of the locking members 34 has a neck 36 and a retainer 37 tapered off toward its end remote from the neck 36, the retainer 37 hav.ing a donwardly facing shoulder 38. ~he locking bar 32 has an upper end ingegral with the head 30 and a lower distal end 39 enyageable with a distal end 40 of the hook body 31.
The head 30 has a diameter around the necks 36 which is slightly smaller than the diameter of the hole 28 in the horizontal circular seat 27, and a maximum diameter around the loc~ing members 34 which is larger than the diameter of the hole 28. The axial length of the retainers 37 is such that when they are placed on the circular seat 27 with the necks 36 in the hole 28, the retainers 37 do not project out of the recess 26.
For mounting the hook 29 on the support 15, the retainers 37 are forced through the hole 28 while the locking members 34 xesiliently flex radially inwardly in the hole 28 until the retainers 37 emerge out of the hole . - .

Once the retainers 37 are fully positioned in the recess 26, they are prevented by the shoulders 38 from slipping out through the hole 28. Therefore, the hook 29 is securely mounted on the support 15. Since the diameter of the head 30 around the necks 36 is smaller than the diameter of the hole 38, the hook 29 can ro~ate about its OWIl axis with respect to the support 15. The support 15 as mounted on the connector 11 is also xotatable about the axes of the shafts 17, 18. This construction allows the hook 29 to rotate about two perpendicular axes relative to the connector 11.
FIG. 7 illustrates a mold die 41 for simultaneouly molding one of the legs 14 and a correspondi~g one of the shafts 18 placed therein in one step of molding operation.
The mold die 41 includes a hollow cylindrical projection 42 having an outer peripheral profile complementary to the hole 20 in the leg 14 and an inner cylindrical cavity 43 complementary in shape to the shaf~ 18, the hollow cylindrical projection 42 having an axial length equal to the thickness of the leg 14. During molding ~peration, the shaft 18 is formed in the cavity 43 while at the same time a cylindrical surface of the leg 14 defining the hole 20 is formed by the outer periphery of the hollow cylindrical . ," . .

The connec~or 11 and the support 15 can therefore be combined with each other in a single step of molding operation. The support 15 thus molded simultaneously with the connector 11 is nevertheless rotatable relatively to the connector 11. With such an arrangement, n~ sepàrate steps of moldin~ the connec~or 11 and ~he support 15 and then assembling them together are necessary. After the connector 11 and the support 15 have been molded in a combined state, the hook 29 is mounted on the support 15 in the manner described above. Consequently, the overall process for assembling the swivel hook assembly 10 is quite simplified and ~uch less costly as only the hook 29 needs to be attached to the support 15 that has already been combined with the connector 11 in a molding process.
The hook 29 is molded separately from the connector 11 and the support 15. A mold die for forming the hook 29 has mold cavities respectively for molding the hook body 31 in the solid-line position shown in FIG. 2 and the locking bar 32 in the two-dot-a~d-dash-line position. As molded, therefore, the l~c~ing bar 32 has its distal end spaced from the distal end 40 of the hook body 31. The locking bar 32 as thus formed is then elastically bent from the `: ' ' ' two-dot-and-dash-line position in a direction normal to the sheet of FIG. 2, and forced against its own resiliency in the direction of ~he arrow ~4 to the solid-line position in which the distal end of the locking bar 32 is engaged by the distal end 40. The distal end of the locking bar 32 is now forcibly pressed against the distal end 40 under the resiliency of the locking bar 32.
The swivel hook assembly 10 is composed of a reduced number of parts, that is, only ~he connector 11, the support 1`5, and the hook 29, and can be assembled with utmost ease and less costly. Since all of the components are made of synthetic resin, they can be injection-molded in large quantities and hence inexpensively, can be colored as desired to meet user~s various color preferences in vogue.
FIGS. 8 through 11 show a swivel hook assembly, generally indicated at 50, according to another embodiment of the present invention. The swivel hook assembly 50 is composed of a connector 51 of an inverted U shape and an integral T-shaped hook and support combination 52 having a horizontal support 53 and a hook 54. The connector 51 has a horizontal bar 55 and a pair of latera~ly spaced legs 56, 57 with holes 58, 5g defined therein, respectively, in coaxial alignment. The hori zontal ~upport 53 includes a pair of opposite shafts 60, 61 rotatably fitted in the holes 58, 59, respectively. The T-shaped hook and support combination ~2 is therefore rotatable about the axes of the ~ ~ ' . ' .

shafts 60, 61 relatiYely to ~he connector 51. The hook 54 has an up~er end integrally joined to ~he support 53 and extends perpendicularly from a longitudinally central portion of the horizontal support 53.
The connector 51 and the hook and support combination 52 can be integrally molded of synthetic resin simultaneously in a ~ingle step of operation by a mold die assembly ~ncluding mold dies such as shown in FIG. 7. As molded, the hook and support combinati~n ~2 is rotatable about the axes of the shafts 60, 61 xelatively to the connector 51. The hook 54 has a distal end 62 and a lockin~ bar 63 which is resiliently brought in~o engagement with the distal end 62 as ~hown in FIG. 9, after the hook 54 has been molded. The swivel hook assembly 50 is composed of only two parts, the connector 55 and the hook and support combination 52 which are molded at the same time in an assembled condition. The only step of completing the swivel hook assembly 50 is to engage the locking bar 63 with the distal end 62 of the hook 54.
~herefore, the swivel hook assembly 50 can more easily be fabricated than the swivel hook assembly 10 illustrated in FIG. 1.
Although various minor mvdifications may be 8uggested by those versed in the art~ it should be understood that I wish to embody within the scope of the patent which may issue hereon, all such embodiments are reasonably and properly come within the scope of my contribution to the art.
