Abstract:

A snap hook is formed of spring wire in a configuration based on a coil of preferably one and one-half turns. One tail of the coil is relatively short, and has a hook at its end. The longer tail is formed into a bight, and has a hook interengagable with the hook on the shorter tail. One of these hooks has a three-dimensional bend. Several forms of the invention are provided for minimizing snagging, and for ease of manipulation.
