Abstract: A device for detachably connecting a bag to a bar has a securing clip to be attached with a first side to a bag and a load hook pivotably connected to a second side of the securing clip so as to pivot about a pivot axis extending parallel to and above the bar. The load hook, when the bag is connected to the bar, has a locking position in which the load hook engages with an engagement surface across a top side of the bar and locks the bar at the securing clip. A pulling member is connected to the load hook. The load hook is pivoted from the locking position into a release position by the pulling member against a counter force.

Abstract: There is provided a snap hook, especially for mountain climbers, consisting of a C-shaped element having ends which are connected to each other by an elastic locking catch to form a closed elongated ring having first and second narrow sides. A holding element is attached to a first narrow side and the second narrow side forms a guide region for a safety rope. Projecting elements are included in the elongated ring, projecting perpendicularly to the plane defined by the ring on both sides thereof, so that when the snap hook is applied against a planar surface, the guide region for the safety rope is maintained at a distance from the planar surface.
