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 Materials, systems and methods for optoelectronic devices Slat puzzle Photocuable thiol-ene low gas permeability membranes Process for the preparation of .beta.-amino alcohol Remote control devices and methods Stable soluble salts of phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid at PHS at or below 7.0 Hybrid microstructured optical fibre for guidance by means of photonic forbidden bands and by total internal reflection optimised for non-linear applications   Randomly Featured Patents Canvas-rubber complex, V-ribbed belt using it and method of producing V-ribbed belt Diol (meth) acrylate compound having urethane bond, method for producing the same, and polymer thereof Device for measuring moisture content in grains Method of making simulated cheese containing casein materials Method and apparatus for disabling a blasting cap Multiple data surface magneto-optical data storage system Composite ophthalmic microcannula Method and apparatus to support scalability in a multicarrier network Swing arm feeder Liquid container and a method of making same © 2006-2008 PatentGenius.
