Abstract: There is disclosed a snap-shackle with a body having an interior cavity and first and second openings into the cavity, a hinge member being rotatably attached to the body to rotatably mate with and engage the second opening into the cavity. A latch member is pivotally attached to the body within the cavity and within the second opening, a portion of the latch member being exposed in the first opening through which opening the latch member is pivoted between a first pivotal position for engaging and locking the hinge member in the second opening to form a third opening between the hinge member and the body for receiving and coupling objects to the body and a second pivotal position for unlocking and releasing the hinge member to rotate and release the objects coupled thereby.
