Abstract:
Apparatus comprising:an elongated element having first and second pairs of eyes located substantially parallel to each other, said first pair of eyes being located on a first plane and said second pair of eyes being located on a second plane 90Â° relative to said first plane, first and second pairs of shanks located between and connected with said first and second pairs of eyes, each eye of said first and second pairs of eyes having substantially the same size such that a plurality of elongate elements coupled to each other are disconnected from each other without using additional tools and without changing the shape of said elongate element, a coupling device for coupling said elongate element to another structure, said coupling device having an elongate coupling member, said coupling member having a double hook member at one axial end of said coupling member, each hook of said double hook member extending perpendicular to said coupling member and in opposite directions relative to each other, said double hook member coupling to said first and second pair of eyes, said double hook member having a width and a length which is greater than a width of a first space defined between said first and second pair of eyes, the width of said double hook member being less than a greatest width of a second space between said shanks, said double hook member coupling to said elongated element by passing through said second space and being displaced relative to said elongated element towards said first and second pairs of eyes.
