Snapping Fish Stringer

摘要

A fish stringer has a locking body that receives an insert, with a loop being formed by means of a cable which is connected to the locking body at a first end and the insert at a second end. To allow the insert to be coupled with the locking body, an insert-receiving cavity traverses into the locking body, creating a receptacle for the insert. The insert has a handle portion that allows the insert to be manipulated even when a tongue portion is within the insert-receiving cavity. A latching mechanism on the insert engages a latch receptacle on the locking body to secure the insert to the locking body. The latching mechanism is a flexible arm with a tab at one end, the flexible arm being deformed from an equilibrium position as the tongue slides into the insert-receiving cavity until the tab becomes aligned and engaged with the latch receptacle.
