A swivel attachment device comprising a pair of rings able to rotate freely with respect to one another around an axis of rotation defined by a central pivot-pin. At least one of the rings is in the form of a hook delineating a lateral access space. A removable closing part, composed of a spacer through which a fixing screw passes, is able to close said space performing partial take-up of the tensile forces.

Disclosed is an attaching device for attaching stopping or lashing means to objects that are to be transported or tied down, comprising a fixing element (1), an attaching element (16), and a connecting element (15) which is rotatably mounted on a socket (4) wrapped around the fixing element (1) and connects the attaching element (16) to the fixing element (1). The connecting element (15) leans against ring flanges (6, 7) placed at the ends of the socket (4) via series of rolling bodies (12, 13) so as to allow said connecting element (15) to rotate without jerking and make it sufficiently tilt-proof.

A connecting device which has an excellent appearance, produces no frictional sound between a connecting device main body such as a swivel hook main body and a belt attaching member and can be assembled easily and securely. The connecting device includes a neck portion (24) standing from a proximal portion (22-1) of a main body (2, 50) of the connecting device (1, 5) and an engagement head (25) which is expanded in an outward direction form a center of an axis line such that a diameter thereof can be reduced, the engagement head being provided at a front end of the neck portion (24). A belt attaching member is connected to the main body rotatably around the neck portion. A through hole which the engagement head can be engaged with by insertion is formed in part of the belt attaching member. In the through hole, a small-diameter hole portion having a smaller diameter than the diameter of the engagement head and a large-diameter hole portion having a large diameter than the diameter of the engagement head are connected via a stepped portion. The large-diameter hole portion has a ring-like member which allows the neck portion to be inserted therethrough. The ring-like member has a cylindrical wall portion which is accommodated in the large-diameter hole portion and a ring-like engaging portion provided at an end of the wall portion and extended toward a center thereof. An inside diameter of the engaging portion (43) is equal to an outside diameter of the diameter of the engagement head (25) when it is reduced.

A swivel (100) for a mooring line comprises a first element (110) with a first line coupler (111) and a second element (112) with a second line coupler (113). The first element (110) and the second element (112) are rotatable relative to each other. An electric power generator (120) converts a relative rotation between the first element (110) and the second element (112) into electric power. In use, the line couplers (111, 113) are attached to separate segments of the mooring line. A pull F applied to or relieved from the mooring line causes the relative rotation. The swivel preferably contains a battery and a control unit, and may supply power to one or more sensors (130) built into or external to the swivel (100). A system for monitoring a mooring arrangement is also disclosed.

The invention discloses a swivel comprising two coaxial, mutually rotatable members is provided with means for transferring operating and / or controlling media or the like between the members. The means can be flexible hoses or cables connected between the members. The hoses or cables are connected to the members by means of quick-couplings.

A swivel has a main body, a longitudinal locking unit, and a lateral locking unit. The main body has a longitudinal axis, a lateral axis being perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, an accommodating gap, a through hole, a threaded hole, and a receiving space. The accommodating gap is disposed between and communicates with the through hole and the threaded hole. The receiving space is disposed along the lateral axis and communicates with the through hole. The longitudinal locking unit has a shaft mounted through the through hole and screwed with the threaded hole. The lateral locking unit has a lateral locking component mounted in the receiving space and able to block the shaft to prevent the shaft from falling off from the accommodating gap. The swivel is capable of multiple locking manners to securely connect a belt and a heavy object.

The ring-like member has a cylindrical wall portion which is accommodated in the large-diameter hole portion and a ring-like engaging portion provided at an end of the wall portion and extended toward a center thereof. An inside diameter of the engaging portion is equal to an outside diameter of the diameter of the engagement head when it is reduced.

A swivel assembly is disclosed that allows first and second sub-assemblies to swivel with respect to one another. The assembly comprises a first component and a second component, at least one having a connection formation for connection to another object. An interconnection assembly interconnects the components such that they are free to rotate about an axis. The interconnection assembly comprises an axle secured for free rotation about the axis within a recess of the second component. The axle is retained within the recess by a bearing secured within the recess by a cap located in an opening of the recess that is directed towards the first component, the axle extending through the cap along the axis for connection with the first component.

A swivel / quick release device having a shaft adapted to receive a load at one end operated associated with a bearing means at its other end; a housing in which said shaft is slidably mounted. A release and attachment means is disposed in the housing around the bearing means releasably retaining an attachment for a tow rope. Spring means is present within the housing and engaging the shaft such that as a load is increasingly applied to one end of the shaft, the spring means is compressed within the housing until the attachment for a tow rope is released.
