The folding handle includes a base handle portion, a folding handle portion, handle pivot pin and a biasing device. The rope cam includes an inner profile, an outer perimeter, a pivot hole and a rope groove. The pivot hole is formed through rope cam to receive a spacer post. The euler includes a round diameter and a pair of D-shaped projections extending from opposing ends of the round diameter. D-shaped openings are formed in the base and cover plates to receive the D-shaped projections. The integral pulley preferably includes a pulley bracket, a spring clip, a rope pulley and a pulley axle. The rope pulley includes a peripheral groove for retaining a rope.

Abstract: A load sharing snap-linkable safety rigging plate preferably includes a rigging body, a first gate, a second gate, two first pivoting locks and two second pivoting locks. The rigging body includes a base portion, a first open gate loop and a second open gate loop. A plurality of openings are formed through the base portion. The first and second gates are pivotally engaged with first and second ends of the base portion. The second gate is pivotally engaged with a second end of the base portion and an opposing end is retained by an end of the second open gate loop. The first two pivoting locks are pivotally retained on a first end of the base portion to prevent the first gate from opening. The second two pivoting locks are pivotally retained on a second end of the base portion to prevent the second gate from opening.
