Abstract
The connecting members are each made to receive a lifting wire in snap-fit manner at one end while receiving a knot or widened head of a harness cord or a distribution stirrup at the other end. The connecting members allow the harness cords to be readily connected to a lifting wire. The connecting members each have a clip-like part which may either engage in a recess of the lifting wire or may have a plurality of longitudinally spaced recesses to receive a collar of a lifting wire in one of the recesses. A spring may also be used in the connecting member to effect engagement.
