Abstract
A chain coupling assembly comprising a closed ring member (1) to be coupled to a hoist, e.g. a lifting hook, and at least one chain coupling or shortening member (5) to be coupled to a hoisting chain. A portion (1e) of the ring member is flattened so as to fit snugly into an insertion opening (6) leading to a hook portion (3) of the chain coupling or shortening member (5). Hereby, the closed ring member (1) and the chain coupling or shortening member (5) can be securely connected directly to each other.
