Abstract:
A safety hook includes a hook and a latch. The hook may be a twisted hook with a hooked portion twisted 90 degrees from a strap loop, or a flat “S” hook with the hooked portion and the strap loop in a single plane. The latch includes a full circle latch ring and a latch arm. The latch arm extends across a mouth opening of the hooked portion and is biased to prevent the hooked portion from disengaging from a wheel chair or other attachment point without forcing the latch arm away from the mouth. The latch ring resides against a loop portion of the hook and is held in place by grasps, fingers, lips, or the like which reach past center around a cross-section of the loop portion, or by molding-in-place over the loop portion, and by a strap attached around strap loop and the latch ring.
