Abstract
A grappling hook comprising a shaft, a head member, a plurality of blades, and a locking ring. The shaft has a first end. The head member is secured to the first end of the shaft. Each of the blades includes at least one gripping tooth for gripping onto a desired supporting structure. Each of the blades is pivotally connected to the head member such that each blade is movable between an operational position and a collapsed position wherein the blades are spread away from the head member and positioned to grip the supporting structure in the operational position, and wherein the blades are positioned adjacent to the shaft in the collapsed position. The locking ring is movable between an open position and a closed position wherein the locking ring secures the blades in the operational position when the locking ring is positioned in the open position, and wherein the locking ring secures the blades in the collapsed position when the locking ring is in the closed position.
