Described is a hook for hanging articles, such as garments, which is capable of holding the weight of a typical garment while permitting the release of heavier objects. The hook has a base, an arm pivotally mounted to the base, a releasable connecting means for releasably connecting the arm to the base to maintain the arm in a load bearing position, the releasable connecting means (e.g. magnetic means) releasable to permit the arm to move towards a load releasing position when a load having a weight in excess of a predetermined weight is applied to the arm; and effort imparting means (e.g. a weight) mounted to the arm for returning the arm to the load, bearing position after the load has been released. Such hooks are particularly useful in schools to reduce the possibility of children being hung from hooks.
La présente invention décrit un crochet pouvant supporter le poids d'un vêtement ordinaire, tout en permettant à des objets plus lourds de s'en détacher. Le crochet comprend une base et un bras monté sur celle-ci pouvant pivoter entre une position portante et une position de relâchement. Un dispositif de fixation détachable (p. ex. un verrou magnétique) permet de maintenir le bras dans la position portante. La liaison magnétique peut se rompre pour que le bras relâche sa charge lorsqu'une force excessive prédéterminée lui est appliquée. L'aimant fournit la force nécessaire pour que le bras retourne dans sa position portante lorsque la charge a été relâchée. De tels crochets sont particulièrement utiles dans les écoles pour réduire les risques que des enfants s'y pendent.
