摘要

The choker (1) has a sliding eyelet (2) for pulling a carrying rope, and a longitudinal opening (3) for suspending a cylindrical bulge. A locking device is designed as a single piece for locking a carrying rope-end with the bulge in a locking position using a locking detent (7). The locking device releases the carrying rope-end in a release position, and the locking detent is held in a closed position by a swiveling lever. A resting support surface is formed between an axle (8) and symmetrical axis of the cylindrical bulge of the rope end in the closed position. The locking detent is designed as a recess or nose.
