Abstract:
A double chain hook assembly includes a first hook and a second hook, each having a bill and throat portion and a common shank, which is bifurcated at its upper end. The bifurcation produces two projecting legs, having a bight at one end and a throat at the other. Each of the legs has a bore near the top in registry with the bore in the other leg. A closure includes a bolt, slidably fastened in the two bores, so as to selectively close the throats of both hooks or of either hook, as desired. A biased ball latch selectively positions the bolt.
