Abstract: The invention relates to a panic snap, in particular on lead and tether lines for horses. FIG. 4 shows the lengthwise cross-section of the load part (1) and the cross section of the halter ring (31). The snap (11), in the form of a rocker mounted in the load part (1), is blocked by means of the wedge blocking mechanism (21) in order to retain the halter ring (31). By pushing the grip sleeve (19) on the load part (1) back towards the pressure spring (29), the wedge blocking mechanism (21), which is molded on the grip sleeve (19), is pulled out from under the blocking arm (16), and the snap (11) is freed. If the grip sleeve (19) is released, the wedge blocking mechanism (21) is pushed back under the blocking arm (16) by the spring pressure and thus closes the snap (11). In comparison to conventional panic snaps, the panic snap according to the invention can be opened more easily under loads and is more comfortable and time-saving to handle.

Abstract: Disclosed is an installation for competitive play with an ice hockey stick and an ice hockey puck. The installation includes a game platform, a goal with targets, target identifiers and a computer. A computer controlled puck circuit includes a puck magazine (30), a passing unit (46) which feeds pucks (1) to a player (40), a conveyor apparatus (2) which sorts and conveys shot pucks (1) into the puck magazine (30). The points value of shots made by the player (40) are evaluated with the help of a light barrier A (48) and a light barrier B (49), a camera (50) und a corresponding underlying computer program and the points assigned form the basis for a competitive play which can be played over the international data network.
