Abstract
Description
- This is a utility application incorporating by reference and claiming priority to provisional application Ser. No. 61/963,125 filed Nov. 25, 2013 entitled “Clevis Type Slip Hook with Safety Latch”.
- In a principal aspect the present invention relates to a clevis type slip hook with a safety latch to retain a cable, chain link, or similar element within the slot of the hook.
- U.S. Pat. No. 7,967,353 entitled “Clevis Type Grab Hook with Safety Latch”, discloses a grab hook which is designed to engage and hold the link of a chain in the slot of the hook. A clevis type slip hook has a more pronounced and larger slot than a grab hook for engaging and holding a chain, cable or the like. The invention disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,967,353 may be incorporated in both types of clevis hooks: grab hooks and slip hooks. The present invention is focused upon a safety latch that is useful in a grab hook, but is especially useful when incorporated in a slip hook, i.e., a hook which includes a more pronounced or enlarged slot for engaging holding a chain, cable or the like. Nonetheless, the present invention, as did the prior invention of U.S. Pat. No. 7,967,353, may be utilized with and incorporated in either type of clevis hook as well as other similar devices.
- As explained in U.S. Pat. No. 7,967,353, engagement of a chain link, cable, or the like with a throat opening of a grab hook or clevis type slip hook is a straightforward operation. However, retention of the item such as a chain link or cable in the slot of the hook may be thwarted in some instances. Thus, ensuring that the chain link, etc. remains within the slot or throat opening of a hook is a desirable feature associated with such hook devices.
- Briefly, the present invention comprises a clevis type chain hook, grab hook or slip hook which includes a throat opening or slot between the tip end and shanked into which a chain link, cable or the like may be positioned. The hook further includes a latch or closure member rotatably attached by an axially moveable shaft to a clevis at the shank end of the hook. The closure member is fixed to the shaft and extends radially from the shaft. The closure or latch member comprises an end surface or face radially spaced from the axis of the pin or shaft and is sized so that it may be positioned in and generally fill the receiving slot of the hook between the tip end of the hook and the shank end. The latch or closure member comprises, in at least one embodiment, a pair of parallel plates which are welded to the outer or top end of the shaft and project radially from the shaft terminating with the outer end surface that fits within and generally fills the receiving slot of the hook between the tip end and the shank end of the hook. A biasing spring is fitted on the shaft intermediate a lower arm of the clevis and a retention member at the lower end of the shaft. The biasing member or spring element thus biases the shaft in a manner which positions the latch or closure member, when appropriately oriented, to close the receiving slot of the hook.
- In order to open the receiving slot, the shaft is moved axially in opposition to the biasing force thereby raising the closure member out of a position fitted against the shank thus enabling the shaft to be rotated. The receiving slot of the hook is thereby opened. The closure member thus includes dimensional characteristics which enable it to fit against the shank and extend outwardly from the shank to fill the receiving slot of the hook at the tip end of the hook.
- Further, the shank or upper arm of the clevis at the shank end and the closure member, in combination, may include a boss and detent couple which engage to preclude rotation of the closure member when the closure member is positioned to close the receiving slot of the hook. The boss may be formed or cast into the upper clevis arm region of the shank end of the hook and may include a through passage which may be aligned with a through passage in the closure member so that the engagement of the boss with a detent formed in the body member can be locked by inserting of some type of joinder device through the aligned through passages of the closure member and boss.
- Additionally, the closure member may include a further opening or through passage for receipt of a latch cable that fits through the closure member and may be wrapped around the shank of the hook, again locking the closure member in position thereby closing the receiving slot of the hook. The body or closure member may be designed to be incorporated with hooks of various size as well as hooks having various slot dimensions.
- Thus, it is an object and feature of the invention to provide a clevis type hook with a latching mechanism that may be closed to preclude access to, or opened to provide access to, the receiving slot of the hook and which is effective to preclude debris or other material from entering the slot thereby inadvertently engaging the hook.
- Another object and feature of the invention is to provide a biased latch body or closure member which is maintained in position by means of a biasing element and which may be further retained in position by the interaction or coupling of a boss and detent of the shank and body member.
- A further object and feature of the invention is to provide a simple, yet very reliable latching mechanism for closing the throat or opening of a clevis type hook.
- These and other objects, advantages, features and aspects of the invention are set forth in a detailed description which follows.
- In the detailed description which follows, reference will be made to the drawing comprised of the following figures:

FIG. 4 is a perspective view depicting the manner to effect release of the closure member in order to permit rotation of and disengagement of the closure member from closing the receiving slot of the hook; -
FIG. 5 is a perspective view illustrating the closure member mounted to block a receiving slot and retained in that position by a cable or wire fitted through the closure member and around the shank or an arm of the clevis of the hook; -
FIG. 6 is a side elevation of the closure member and shaft of the embodiment ofFIGS. 1-5 ; -
FIG. 7 is a top plan view of the closure member and shank ofFIGS. 6 ; and -
FIG. 8 is a right hand side elevation view of the closure member and shank ofFIG. 6 . -
FIGS. 1 , 2, 4 and 5 illustrate in various views a typical clevis type, slip hook incorporating a safety latch in accord with the invention.FIG. 3 is a partial cross sectional view illustrating the manner in which the safety latch feature of the invention is designed to enable locking or coupling of the safety latch to a hook.FIGS. 6-8 illustrate in further detail the embodiment of the twist lock safety latch mechanism incorporated in the described embodiment of the invention. - Thus, referring to the figures, the embodiment depicted comprises a hook or
hook body 22 which includes atip end 24 and ashank end 26 that, in combination, define areceiving slot 28 having anopening 30 which extends between thetip end 24 and theshank end 26. Theshank end 26 includes anupper clevis arm 36 and a spacedlower clevis arm 38. Theupper arm 36 includes a throughpassage 40 which is aligned with a throughpassage 42 of thelower arm 38. Thepassages straight axis 44. Thearms link 51 of achain 50 may be inserted in the opening 52 between theupper arm 36 and thelower arm 38. Of course, a cable or other type of cord, chain or the like may be placed in the slot or opening 52. - The
hook 22 further includes a twist lock,latch mechanism 60. The twist lock,latch mechanism 60 is comprised of a latch, body orclosure member 62 which is coupled with anelongate shaft member 64 that is fitted through thepassages upper arm 36 andlower arm 38, respectively. A spring member, spring biasing element, or some type ofbiasing element 66 is positioned around or in combination with the lower orbottom section 68 of theshaft 64 and is retained by a retention element such as a threadednut fastener 70. Thus, the biasing member orelement 66 will bias the twist latch,lock mechanism 60 by causing theelongate shaft 64 to move axially downward inFIGS. 1 and 2 thereby causing the body orclosure member 62 to engage theupper arm 36 orshank end 26. - The configuration of the body member is illustrated in greater detail in
FIGS. 6 , 7 and 8. Thus, the body orclosure member 62 is mounted to top end orsection 74 of theshaft 64. Theshaft 64 includes the bottom orlower section 68 which is threadedsection 76 to enable receipt of retention element ornut 70. Theshaft 64 comprises a rod or cylindrical member which enables movement in thecompatible passages arms passages shaft 64 is typically cylindrical so that it may move axially as well as rotatably about theaxis 44. - The body or
closure member 62 includes an outer face orclosure surface 80 which is radially spaced from theaxis 44 and which has a length that is defined generally by the dimension of the receivingslot 30 and the spacing ofarms surface 80 relative to theaxis 44 may be chosen to accommodate the closure of theslot 30. For example, it may be parallel to theaxis 44 or may form an acute or an obtuse angle depending upon the shape ofhook 22 and spacing oftip end 24 andshank 26. Further, thebody member 62 may be made in any or a series of configurations. The embodiment of the invention provides for first and second spacedside plates section 96 to provide aclosure surface 80. Theplates upper end 74 of theshaft 64. - A desired feature of the body or
closure member 62, in addition to theclosure surface 80, is compatibility of the lower edge of thebody member 62; namely, theedge 98 that conforms with the outer surface of the shank end ofupper arm 36. That is, theshank end 26 of thehook 22 may include aboss 100 with a lateral recess in one or both sides thereof; namely, arecess 102 and a throughpassage 104. The spacedplates boss 100. Further, theplates flanges recesses boss 100. - Openings such as
opening 110 in theplate 90 and asimilar opening 112 in theplate 92 enable placement of a fastening wire through thoseopenings body member 62 in place in the locked and latched position. Additionally, theplates further openings cable 120 being positioned therethrough and wrapped around theupper arm 36 to hold the body orclosure member 62 in position by means of thecable 120. - Thus, typically the biasing element or biasing
spring member 66 will retain the closure orbody member 62 in a locked position. That locked position may be supplemented by a wire orcable 120 that cooperates with the body orclosure member 62 to retain it in the locked engagement position described. - To release the locked body or
closure member 62 from closing theslot 30, all of the ancillary locking features, such as the cable orcord 120, must be disconnected. Theshaft 64 may then be biased manually against the force of the biasingspring element 66 as depicted inFIG. 4 to release thebody member 62 from engagement with theupper arm 36 of theshank end 26. Thebody member 62 may then be rotated out of engagement to open theslot 28 as depicted inFIG. 2 . - The clevis type slip hook as described may be used in combination with multiple types of chains, cables, bars, rods, locks and the like. The biased twist locking plate mechanism as described is particularly useful with respect to a slip hook design wherein the opening size of the receiving slot of the hook may vary. The design of the invention is thus enabled with various sizes and types of slip hooks having a wide variety of receiving slot openings. Thus, while there has been set forth an embodiment of the invention, it is to be understood that the invention, its aspects and features are not so limited, but do include equivalents and variations thereof.
