Abstract: A system for securing a watercraft to a dock includes a first sensor for automatically detecting a securing point to which to dock the watercraft, an extendable arm with a cable inside, the cable having a proximal end for mounting to the watercraft, and a grasping element mounted to a distal end of the cable and configured to reversibly engage the securing point. A method for securing a watercraft to a dock includes automatically detecting a securing point on the dock, extending an arm from the watercraft toward the securing point, wherein the arm houses a cable having a proximal end mounted to the watercraft, and reversibly engaging the securing point using a grasping element mounted to a distal end of the arm.

Abstract: A device holder including a body having a receiving opening, an arm having a first engagement member on a first end and a second engagement member on a second end, the first engagement member releaseably secured within the receiving opening, and the second engagement member slidably secured to the body.

Abstract: One design embodiment of a holder for a container comprising: one or more bands each capable of retaining a container inside the band(s), with straps attached to and extending away from the exterior of the band(s); with fasteners on the ends of each strap such that container within the band or bands are held in a stable position relative to a harness to be worn by a user. The design embodiment allows easy attachment, use and deployment of containers in a variety of environmental conditions and situational uses, including but not limited to the carrying of gas supplies for underwater divers.

Abstract: Easily-manufacturable connector capable of prevention of accidental opening of mouth of hook caused by movement of opening-closing rod in opening direction. Connector main body has paired retaining holes on both sides of hook base part. Misoperation-preventive member has its opposite ends formed into paired inwardly-bent engagement portions engageable in paired retaining holes, and has its midway part configured to be movable from front end of hook toward opening-operation body and vice versa in in-contact/out-of-contact relation. Paired engagement portions (paired retaining holes) are axially staggered so that midway part of misoperation-preventive member is urged from front end of hook toward opening-operation body. Connector main body has stopper for bringing midway part of misoperation-preventive member to stop in a position close to opening-operation body against urgence on misoperation-preventive member.

Abstract: A snap ring for fishing implements is provided. The snap ring includes a hook-like body having an opening on a portion thereof, a rotary shaft coupled on one side to a portion of the body such that the rotary shaft is rotatable around the opening, a hollow guide into which the rotary shaft is fitted and slides along, and a guide spring provided between the rotary shaft and the guide to elastically support the guide against the rotary shaft.

Abstract: A hooking device for attaching an equipment like a fall limiter to an anchorage structural element by means of a stick. The device comprises an elongated member to which the equipment is attachable. A hooking head slides along the elongated member. The hooking head has a hook forming an opening in which the anchorage structural element is engageable. An actuating mechanism operates a locking element of the opening in response to a sliding of the hooking head with respect to the elongated member. A stick detachable fastening element is used to slide the hooking head with respect to the elongated member in response to a movement of the stick when the anchorage structural element is engaged in the opening.

Abstract: A hook and an eye are integral with and located at opposite longitudinal ends of a body. The hook includes a tip spaced from the body and defining a mouth for attachment of the hook to a ring or other object. A lock pin mounted in the body moves axially between a closed position engaging the tip of the hook and an open position. The body has a flat, easily gripped shape with a button at one side movable in a transverse direction. A cam system translates transverse button movement into axial movement of the lock pin, and provides a decreasing force-displacement characteristic. The hook is designed to break to prevent user injury in the event of excessive force, and includes a ramp surface facilitating detachment of the hook.

Abstract: A snap hook assembly for a luggage includes a suspension member, and a hook member. The suspension member includes a first suspension block and a second suspension block. The hook member is mounted on the suspension member and includes a main body having an insertion pin and a hook. Thus, the first suspension block and the second suspension block are combined with each other rigidly and stably, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the snap hook assembly. In addition, when the hook member is subjected to a gravity load, the gravity load is evenly distributed on the first suspension block and the second suspension block, thereby increasing the lifetime of the snap hook assembly.

Abstract: A shortening hook for strands of round link chain. A safety body is arranged in the mouth of the hook. The safety body is moveable by hand against the tension of a reset spring from the area of the mouth of the hook transversely to the trajectory motion of the hook. An operating link projects into the mouth of the hook and is arranged at the end section of the safety body. This operating link can be pressed back when the hook shaft takes hold so that the safety body frees up the mouth area.

Abstract: A theft deterrent device has a body portion and an attachment portion. The attachment portion has an upper jaw and a lower jaw. The upper jaw is spaced from the lower jaw so as to define a mouth in which a portion of an article can be inserted. A pin is movably mounted in the upper jaw, at least between a retracted position in which the pin does not substantially extend into the mouth, and an extended position in which the pin extends through the mouth and into the lower jaw. Releasable locking structure is provided to secure the pin in the extended position. The device can be used in combination with electronic article surveillance technology to secure articles against theft, with reduced damage to the articles and with reduced risk to persons handling the tags. A detachment device for use with a theft deterrent device is also disclosed.
