<p>A snap-closing shackle has a catch (10) which moves in a straight-line motion to release a latch (20). The catch is guided by its stem (8) running in a bearing orifice (7) in the body of the shackle. The catch may be operated by a trigger-like extension (11) available through a window (6) in the body of a shackle and/or by a lanyard attached to an extension (17) of the stem. The axle (21) of the latch arm (20) is offset from the centre-line (22) of the shackle, and the foot of the latch is made with a planar sole (25) and an upwardly inclined surface (24) which abuts and wedges against an abutment surface (28) fast with the body of the shackle.</p> |
