A snap-hook device comprises a hook closed by a latch held against a stop by a spring. The latch consists of two parts, a lever and a bridge-piece hinged in relation to one another on an axis. Another stop prevents them from pivoting in relation to one another and a spring exerts torque between these two parts of the latch. The snap-hook is opened for hooking-on by the rotation of the latch towards the inside of the hook, against the force of the spring, and opened for release by the rotation of the lever of the latch towards the exterior of the hook, against the force of the spring.       Recently Added Patents Information-retrieval device based on a collection of folded sheets and corresponding method Method for diagnosing and predicting cerebellar ataxia Method of generating ozone Apparatus and method for improved handoffs in an EV-DV wireless network Container Water purifier Deduplication in network storage with data residence compliance   Randomly Featured Patents System and method for aligning RGB light in a single modulator projector Device for inputting data into electronic data processing means High density detector array with replaceable sections Probe for fluid leak detection with specific distal part Part of a vacuum cleaner Method of fabricating a self-aligned DMOS transistor device using SiC and spacers Dual-cone synchronizer with servo action Process and device for separating liquid drops from a gas stream Mobile phone Method of defibrillating a heart © 2006-2008 PatentGenius.
