  • Patent number: 4433498
    Abstract: A key link is developed as an elastic loop (1) that can be turned upward or bent open and is carried by a slide part (3) that can be pushed on the front side into a flat housing (2) until it reaches an arrestable locking position. In the locking position, the free end (4) of the loop (1) that can be bent open is enclosed by the housing (2). For this purpose, the slider (10) that consists of the loop (1) and the slide part (3) has at least one locking latch (6) that can spring out and is intended to reach behind or engaged at least one shoulder (5) provided on the housing (2).These measures permit a simple and problem-free manufacture of said hangtag, the assembly of which only requires a pushing-together of the parts, where in the pushed-together condition an absolute secure locking of the link is achieved.
