  • Patent number: 11629750
    Abstract: A snap hook with front and rear locks that must be disengaged for the gate to open. The body has a base and a J-shaped hook. A gate has two parallel, spaced fingers extending from an end of a gate arm. As the gate pivots between open and closed positions, a stop pin extending between the arms and through a curved slot in the body slides within the curved slot. A front lock pivots between a locking position, where shoulders in the gate arms abut an edge on the front lock, preventing the gate from pivoting open, and an unlocking position, where the shoulder does not abut the front lock edge. The rear lock pivots between a locking position, where the curved slots on the rear lock are not aligned with body curved slot, and an unlocking position, where the curved slots are aligned, and the gate can pivot open.
