A retaining mechanism for a clevis hook assembly with an axial device that provides a retaining mechanism for a load pin. The axial device is disposed inside a first opening behind the load pin. The axial device may provide a retention mechanism to obstruct the load pin when the load pin is inserted into the first opening of one of the pair of opposed members and extends across a space into the first opening in the other opposed member.

Retaining mechanism for a load pin on a clevis hook assembly

A hook assembly including a spring-biased safety latch that provides for installation of the latch onto the hook without spring tension. A fastener is configured to slide along an elongate slot when the latch is moved in translatory motion relative to the fastener. The fastener is configured to be inserted into the assembly in a first position while the tension on a biasing member is released. The first position is configured to allow the latch to rotate inward past the tip of the hook. The fastener is configured to move into a second position where it engages with a nutthat when installed is positioned in the portion and blocked by at least one shoulder such that the fastener is no longer able to slide in the slot preventing translator motion of the latch relative to the fastener.
