Abstract:
A hook assembly comprises a hook member and a pin assembly. The hook member defines a base portion, a hook, and first and second pin arms. The hook extends from the base portion and defines a first, second, third, and fourth hook portions and a hook opening. First and second lock projections extend from the second hook portion and fourth hook portions to define a lock gap. The hook opening has a first hook opening dimension extending between the second hook portion and the fourth hook portion and a second opening dimension extending between the third hook portion and the lock gap. The first and second pin arms extend from the base portion. The pin assembly engages the first and second pin arms. The first rope segment engages the pin assembly and the second rope segment engages the third hook portion to place the hook assembly under tension.
