Benefits of technology
The design provides a lightweight, insulating eyehook with increased structural strength, preventing electrical conduction and pinching hazards while maintaining safety functionality even under forceful hits.
Problems solved by technology
However, eyehooks made of metal are heavy and conductive to electricity, which may cause serious injuries when accidentally contact with electrical current.
Thus, the hung object cannot be taken down unless the safety is deactivated.
However, if the structure of the safety is not well designed, the user may get pinched while trying to deactivate the safety.
In this case, if such an eyehook is forcefully hit, the structure is prone to get damaged, and the safety may even fail to function normally.

Embodiment Construction
[0020]As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 9, the eyehook 100 is an electrically insulating safety, which is designed to prevent current conduction while contact with electrical current, and thus avoid possible injuries.
[0021]As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the eyehook 100 includes a main hook 10, a gate 20, and a switch 30. The main hook 10 has an insulating outer layer, and includes a first portion 11, a second portion 12, a hook portion 13, and a hanging ring 14. The first portion 11 is provided between the second portion 12 and the hook portion 13; the second portion 12 is provided between the first portion 11 and the hanging ring 14, and a first protrusion 15 is provided outside of the second portion. The first protrusion 15 has a hollow portion, which does not affect the intensity of the eyehook 100, in order to reduce the weight and the amount of materials of the eyehook 100. The hook portion 13 is hook-shaped and used to hang on an object. The hanging ring 14 is adapted to be passed th...

Abstract
An eyehook includes a main hook, a gate, and a switch. The main hook includes a first portion, a second portion, and has an opening thereon. The gate is pivotally connected to the second portion, and movable between a first and a second position. When the gate is moved to the second position, the opening is closed. A first main body is clad in a first insulating coat which has a first abutting portion. The switch is pivotally connected to the first portion, and movable between a third and a fourth position. A second main body of the switch is clad in a second insulating coat. The switch abuts against the first abutting portion when moved to the third position to prevent the gate from moving toward the first position. The switch includes a covering portion covering the first abutting portion when the gate is moved to the first position.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Technical Field[0001]The present invention relates generally to a hanging tool, and more particularly to an eyehook with sufficient structural strength, which ensures the safety in use.2. Description of Related Art[0002]Generally, conventional eyehooks are made of rigid metal to offer good durability and to prevent possible accidents. However, eyehooks made of metal are heavy and conductive to electricity, which may cause serious injuries when accidentally contact with electrical current. In light of this, a type of eyehook is improved to have a clad layer made of insulating materials, which not only avoids the aforementioned hazard but also reduces the weight of the eyehook. Moreover, to prevent the object hung on an eyehook from falling off, such improved eyehooks usually further include a safety. Thus, the hung object cannot be taken down unless the safety is deactivated.[0003]However, if the structure of the safety is not well designed, the user may...
