Abstract: An anchorage device for use in coupling a line/leash/lead to a requisite anchorage location, comprising a first structural component (2) providing a connection location (5) for coupling the device with a line/leash/lead, and a hook like formation (3) for enabling engagement connection of the device to a desired connection location, a second structural component (9) providing a latch element operationally associated with the first component for controlling the opening and closure of the hook like formation, and a third structural component (19) adapted for engagement with said first and second structural components (2,9) in such manner that the second structural component (9) is retained in its operational position relative to said first structural component (2) by snap fitting inter engagement of the first and third components (2,19).
