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 Detection of procedural deficiency across multiple business applications ZNF217 a new prognostic and predictive biomarker of recurrent invasive and metastatic phenotypes in breast cancer Instance management of code in a database Lamination sheet Lock Buck converter having reduced ripple under a light load Scaleable status tracking of multiple assist hardware threads   Randomly Featured Patents Bicycle saddle Strip potentiometer Method for the preparation of a particulate carrier for a polymerization catalyst Medical appliances for the treatment of blood vessels by means of ionizing radiation Mass1 gene, a target for anticonvulsant drug development Eccentric press Printing device Method of determining biological/molecular age Method of inhibiting fibrosis with pyridoxal benzoyl hydrazone and analogs thereof Bias circuit for compensating fluctuation of supply voltage © 2006-2008 PatentGenius.
