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 Surveillance apparatus and method for wireless mesh network Method and system for delivering and executing virtual container on logical partition of target computing device Methods of establishing virtual circuits and of providing a virtual private network service through a shared network, and provider edge device for such network Wireless communication system, wireless communication device, wireless communication method, and program Methods and systems for improved engine speed control during engine starting Tropoelastin derivatives Method and apparatus for a cryptographically assisted commercial network system designed to facilitate buyer-driven conditional purchase offers   Randomly Featured Patents Tape dispensing apparatus Shower head Combined floor sink and strainer Tie rod jam nut Cap system for underdrains in gravity filters Mutant E. coli strain with increased succinic acid production Optical switch system Elastic cuff safe for arm or leg use Process for the manufacturing of zeaxanthin from lutein Method and apparatus for maintaining a dynamic logical ring in a token passing LAN © 2006-2008 PatentGenius.
