Publication number: 20190154076Abstract: A carabiner has a hock body with a foot section, a back section connected to the foot section, a top section connected to the back section and bent like a hook in the direction of the foot section, a lug arranged at the foot section, and a snap tongue pivotally linked to the foot section and having the form of a wire which is bent to a U-shackle and is made of spring steel. The U-limbs of the U-shackle have different lengths and the ends of the U-limbs are bent inwardly and are inserted into bearing openings which are arranged in the region of the foot section such that the snap tongue, in the closed position of the carabiner, contacts spring loaded the inner surface of the top section which is bent in the direction of the foot section. A retaining element prevents the accidental displacement of the snap tongue out of its contact position against the inner surface of the end portion of the top section bent into the direction of the foot section.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2019Publication date: May 23, 2019Inventor: Hans-Jörg Schmitz

Patent number: 6854700Abstract: A foot support for profiled sections has a base member; a receptacle for the profiled section arranged in the base member; and several tensioning levers having a horizontal pivot axis and arranged about an axis of symmetry. The tensioning levers are pivotable between a rest position and a clamping position about the horizontal pivot axis. The tensioning levers have a lower lever arm positioned below the horizontal axis and an upper lever arm positioned above the horizontal pivot axis. A foot-actuated actuating element that acts on a force-transmitting element, acting on the tensioning levers for moving them into the clamping position, is provided. The force-transmitting element is a vertically adjustable ring that, when carrying out a downward movement, contacts the lower lever arms of the tensioning levers such that the lower lever arms are pivoted outwardly and the upper lever arms are pivoted inwardly into the clamping position.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2002Date of Patent: February 15, 2005Inventor: Hans-Jörg Schmitz

Patent number: 6792654Abstract: The invention relates to a belt buckle, comprising two buckle members fastened on belt ends, the first (1) of said members having a receiving compartment (6) in which the second buckle member (2) is axially inserted. Said second buckle member comprises snap-fit members that are adjusted against a spring force and that interact with undercuts in the first buckle member to secure the fitted buckle members (1,2). The inventive belt buckle is further characterized in that the buckle members consist of cast metal and that the snap-fit members are impinged upon by at least one mechanical return spring.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2002Date of Patent: September 21, 2004Inventor: Hans-Jörg Schmitz
