Abstract
Provided is a hook which is capable of holding multiple objects or an object having a large size of width by efficiently using a space inside the hook, reliably preventing the hanged object from dropping, and allowing the hanged object to be taken out easily. A hook body has a latch that locks an arm biased toward an outside of the hook body by an arm biasing mechanism, and regulates a displacement of the arm, thereby closing an opening portion. While the latch is biased by a latch biasing mechanism so as to face the opening portion and be present at an arm regulating position for locking the arm, the latch is displaced from the arm regulating position against a biasing force of the latch biasing mechanism so as to unlock the arm.
Claims4
A hook comprising:
- a hook body having an opening portion for hanging an object which is inserted through the opening portion on, the hook body having a front receiving portion for preventing the object hanged within the hook body from dropping forward;
- and
- an arm for closing the opening portion of the hook body, the arm being biased by an arm biasing means so as to be displaced toward an outside of the hook body, and closing the opening portion by the displacement of the arm being regulated, while opening the opening portion and allowing the object to be inserted into the hook body when the arm is pressed into the hook body against a biasing force of the arm biasing means;
- wherein the hook body has a latch for closing the opening portion by regulating the displacement of the arm by locking the arm which is biased by the arm biasing means,
- the latch is biased by a latch biasing means such that the latch is present at an arm regulating position for locking the arm, and
- when the latch is displaced from the arm regulating position against a biasing force of the latch biasing means, the arm is unlocked and the opening portion is allowed to be released with the arm displaced toward the outside of the hook body by the biasing force of the arm biasing means.
