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 Data transfer device and data transfer method Storage device having clock adjustment circuitry with firmware-based predictive correction Wireless communication power control Systems and methods for controlling phasing of advancing substrates in absorbent article converting lines Multi-dimensional tuple support in rule engines Instantaneous single click perpetual date mechanism 5-HT.sub.3 receptor modulators, methods of making, and use thereof   Randomly Featured Patents Chrysanthemum plant named `Dekyazoo` LED Method of transmitting data from an infrastructure of a radio-communication network to user equipment, and equipment for implementing the method Air-stripline overlay hybrid coupler System for protecting a vehicle from a mine Multi-data rate security architecture for network security Determination of storage availability for files to be stored at one or more device quality parameter settings Convertible body armor Gene encoding alkaline liquefying .alpha.-amylase Image forming apparatus, and replenishing developer kit © 2006-2008 PatentGenius.
