Abstract

A carabiner has a hock body with a foot section, a back section connected to the foot section, a top section connected to the back section and bent like a hook in the direction of the foot section, a lug arranged at the foot section, and a snap tongue pivotally linked to the foot section and having the form of a wire which is bent to a U-shackle and is made of spring steel. The U-limbs of the U-shackle have different lengths and the ends of the U-limbs are bent inwardly and are inserted into bearing openings which are arranged in the region of the foot section such that the snap tongue, in the closed position of the carabiner, contacts spring loaded the inner surface of the top section which is bent in the direction of the foot section. A retaining element prevents the accidental displacement of the snap tongue out of its contact position against the inner surface of the end portion of the top section bent into the direction of the foot section.

Description

    CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
  • This application is a divisional application of U.S. application Ser. No. 15/183,820 having a filing date of 16 Jun. 2016, said application claiming a priority date of 23 May 2016, based on prior filed German patent application No. 10 2016 109 408.0, the entire contents of the aforesaid United States application and the aforesaid German patent application being incorporated herein by reference.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • The invention concerns a carabiner comprising a hock body comprising a foot section, a back section connected to the foot section, a top section which is connected to the back section and is bent like a hook in the direction of the foot section, a lug arranged at the foot section and a snap tongue pivotally linked to the foot section and having the form of a wire which is bent to a U-shackle and is made of spring steel. The U-limbs of the U-shackle have different lengths and the ends of the U-limbs are bent inwardly and are inserted into bearing openings which are arranged in the region of the foot section such that the snap tongue in the closed position of the carabiner contacts spring-loaded the inner surface of the top section which is bent in the direction of the foot section.
  • Such a carabiner is described in EP 1 522 748 B 1. The known carabiner which can be used in various ways bears the risk, especially in extreme situations, that the snap tongue or snapper in case of extreme loads is pressed inwardly, such that a ring which is arranged in the carabiner is unintentionally released from the carabiner by pushing away the snap tongue out of its contact position against the inner surface of that part of the top section which is bent into the direction of the foot section.
  • Such risk of an unintentional opening of the carabiner exists especially in the case that a ring which is part of a pet or dog collar, is fastened to the carabiner and the pet, especially the dog, tries with extreme movements of its head to get released from the dog leash or dog belt which is fastened to the carabiner.
  • It is the object of this invention to provide an improved carabiner.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • According to the present invention, a carabiner is proposed that is characterized by a retaining element preventing accidental displacement of the snap tongue out of its contact position against the inner surface of the end portion of the top section bent into the direction of the foot section.
  • According to a preferred embodiment of the invention an additional retaining element is provided in the form of a plate shaped projection which projects between the U-limbs of the snap tongue. This projection preferably is a plate which is connected partially to the inner surface of the foot section and partially to the inner surface of the back section of the hook body.
  • Such a plate shaped retaining element avoids reliably distortions and/or sideways movements of the snap tongue.
  • A modified embodiment of this invention is characterized in that the retaining element is a spring element which is pivotally mounted at the foot section against a spring force and which, in the closed condition of the carabiner, resiliently contacts the outer surface of the top section which is bent into the direction of the foot section.
  • A further modified embodiment of this invention is characterized in that the spring element is a snap tongue bent into the form of a U-shackle, the U-limbs of which have different lengths and the ends of which are bent inwardly and are inserted into bearing openings which are arranged in the foot section.

    •  DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • The carabiner shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 corresponds to the carabiner shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 as far as to the following features are concerned:
  • A hook body comprises
      • a foot section 2,
      • a back section 3, connected to the foot section 2,
      • a top section 4 which is connected to the back section 3 and has a hook-like end 4.1 which is bent into the direction of the foot section 2,
      • a bearing stud which is mounted to the foot section 2 and is directed outwardly and is represented by its head section 13, onto which bearing stud a retaining ring 11 is mounted, which supports a lug 5 and which is turnable relative to the foot section, which retaining ring 11 is secured on the bearing stud by means of a radially extending splint 12,
      • a lug 5 mounted to the foot section 2 for attachment of a belt,
      • a snap tongue 6 which is pivotally mounted to the foot section 2 and which is bent in the form of a U-profile from a hook like bent wire, wherein the U-profile limbs 6.1, 6.2 have different lengths and the ends of the U-profile limbs 6.1, 6.2 are bent inwardly to limb ends 6.11, 6.21, which are inserted into bearing openings which are arranged at the foot section 2 such that, in the closed position of the carabiner, the snap tongue 6 contacts spring loaded the inner surface of the top section 4 which is bent in the direction of the foot section 2.
  • The embodiments of the invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and 4 to 6 contain a retaining element which extends in the direction of the top section 4 and is in the form of a plate 8, which has a slight distance to the U-profile limbs 6.1, 6.2 only. The plate 8 is connected with a length extension in a length direction L with a bottom end 8 a partially to the inner surface of the foot section 2 and partially to the inner surface of the back section 3. The plate 8 comprises a top end 8 b opposite the bottom end 8 a and has a height extension in a height direction H. The plate 8 which projects in the height direction H between the two U-limbs 6.1, 6.2 avoids distortion and/or tilting movements and in this way an unintentional opening of the carabiner.
  • According to FIGS. 4 to 6 instead of the relatively short end 4.1 a longer extension rod 4.1′ is provided which rod 4.1 is connected to the top section 4 and extents in the direction of the foot section 1. A recess 4.2 is arranged adjacent to the bent end 4.1 of the top section 4. An outwardly bent part 6.3 that forms the base web of the U-profile snap tongue 6 engages into the recess 4.2.
  • According to FIGS. 7 to 9, a retaining element is provided in the form of a second U-profile spring element 9, which is rotatably mounted against a spring force in the foot section 2 and which, in the closed position of the carabiner, resiliently contacts the outer surface of the bent end 4.1 of the top section 4 with the base web of the U-profile.
  • The U-profile limbs 9.1, 9.2 of the second U-profile spring element 9 have different lengths, the ends of which U-profile limbs 9.1, 9.2 are bent inwardly forming bearing studs which are inserted into bearing openings which are arranged in the foot section 2.
  • The bearing openings for the snap tongue 6 and the retaining tongue 9 are each offset in the direction to the top section 4 whereby the spring force of the snap tongue 6 and of the retaining tongue 9 is effected.
  • For additional security purposes of the U-shaped snap tongue 6 and the additional retaining tongue 9, recesses 4.2 or 4.3 are respectively provided at the inner and outer surfaces of the inwardly bent ends of the top sections 4.
  • While specific embodiments of the invention have been shown and described in detail to illustrate the inventive principles, it will be understood that the invention may be embodied otherwise without departing from such principles.
