Abstract
A hookless coupling device for a sports harness has an elongate body having a connector end for connection with a sports harness and an engagement end. An elongate aperture extends between the connector end and the engagement end. The aperture is wider at the connector end, for receiving an engager through the aperture, than at the engagement end provided for engaging the engager with the elongate body.
Claims20
A hookless coupling device for a sports harness, the coupling device comprising an elongate body having
- a connector end for connection with a sports harness,
- an engagement end, and
- an elongate aperture extending between the connector end and the engagement end, wherein the elongate aperture is relatively wider at the connector end for receiving an engager through the elongate aperture and relatively narrower at the engagement end for engaging the engager with the elongate body.
The hookless coupling device of claim 11, wherein
- in the first position the U-shaped gate is aligned with and adjacent the engagement end of the elongate body, and
- in the second position the U-shaped gate extends across the elongate aperture at the connector end to interfere with the elongate aperture at the connector end and prevent, in the second position, an engager from passing through the elongate aperture at the connector end.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
