The Brummel hook ( Inglefield clip ) is a connecting element used in pairs from seafaring and is used for the simple and quick connection of two lines , especially flag lines . The Brummelhook was invented around 1890 by the British naval officer Edward Fitzmaurice Inglefield (hence the English name) and has been used as standard in the British navy since 1895 .
The Brummel hook is made up of two chain links, each with a slit on the side. The two edges on the slots are chamfered at an angle of 45 ° at the top and bottom . The two parts of the Brummel hook can be pushed into one another when their slots are aligned and the parts are rotated 90 ° against each other. Since the actual slot can be very narrow compared to the hook and the width is only determined by the manufacturing process, this prevents the hooks from accidentally separating or a line from getting caught in the hook. The Brummel hook does not have any other moving parts.
The Brummel hook is also used in paragliding : It connects the foot accelerator ( guided through the harness ) with the acceleration system of the risers and is also known there as a speed clip .
