Hook retention clip

Abstract

An attachment assembly comprises a hook and a hook retention clip. The hook includes an extension portion defining a hook axis, a loop portion having a loop end, and a transition portion. A recess is defined within the loop portion, and a main opening to the recess is defined between the loop end and the transition portion. The hook retention clip is configured to be coupled to the hook. The hook retention clip includes an extension mating portion defining a retention clip axis and a lip extending at an angle away from the retention clip axis. The lip has a lip tip. When the hook retention clip is coupled to the hook, the retention clip axis and the hook axis are coaxial and an effective opening to the recess is defined between the lip tip and the loop end, and the effective opening is smaller than the main opening.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
