Abstract:
1. A safety carabiner comprising: a body at least partially delimiting a first basic frame intended to receive a fastening element, a closing finger pivotably mounted on the body around a hinge pin, between a closed position in which the closing finger cooperates with the body so as to close the first basic frame, and an open position in which the closing finger is tilted toward the inside of the carabiner so as to make the first basic frame accessible, locking means movably mounted on the closing finger between a locked position in which the locking means cooperate with the body of the carabiner so as to lock the closing finger in its closed position, and an unlocked position in which the closing finger can be moved toward its open position, and actuating means arranged to move the locking means between the locked and unlocked positions thereof, the actuating means including a handling member connected to the locking means and movable between a first position on the body in which the locking means are in the locked position and a second position on the body in which the locking means are in the unlocked position, the handling member being arranged so that moving the latter between the first and second positions thereof causes the locking means to move between the locked and unlocked positions thereof, wherein the handling member is movably mounted on a portion of the body of the carabiner opposite the closing finger, between the first and second positions thereof, wherein the actuating means comprise an actuating member movably mounted on the closing finger between at least one first position in which the locking means are in the locked position, and a second position in which the locking means are in the unlocked position, the actuating member being connected to the locking means so that moving the actuating member between the first and second positions thereof causes the locking means to move between the locked and unlocked positions thereof, the actuating member being mounted on the handling member so that moving the handling member between the first and second positions thereof causes the actuating member to move between its first and second positions, wherein the actuating means and the body of the carabiner at least partially delimit a second basic frame separate from the first basic frame and intended to receive a fastening element.
