Safety Connector Assembly for a Lanyard

Abstract

A safety connector assembly for a lanyard having a first end portion and a second end portion includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion. The first connecting portion included a first surface, a second surface, an accommodating space, and a ring protrusion. The first surface is connected to the first end portion. The accommodating space is on the second surface. The ring protrusion extends from the accommodating space. The second connecting portion includes a third surface, a fourth surface, and a protruding portion. The third surface is connected to the second end portion. The protruding portion includes a protrusion and extends from the fourth surface. The protrusion is spaced apart from the fourth surface to form a space therebetween. When the first connecting portion interconnects with the second connecting portion, the protruding portion extends into the accommodating space and the ring protrusion abuts against the protrusion.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A safety connector assembly for a lanyard having a first end portion and a second end portion, the safety connector assembly comprising:
 a first connecting portion including a first surface, a second surface, an accommodating space, and a ring protrusion, the first surface being connected to the first end portion, the accommodating space being on the second surface, the ring protrusion extending from the accommodating space; and   a second connecting portion including a third surface, a fourth surface, and a protruding portion, the third surface being connected to the second end portion, the protruding portion including a protrusion and extending from the fourth surface, the protrusion being spaced apart from the fourth surface to form a space therebetween;   wherein when the first connecting portion interconnects with the second connecting portion, the protruding portion extends into the accommodating space and the ring protrusion abuts against the protrusion and can be received by the space.   
     
     
         2 . The safety connector assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the protruding portion is a hollow structure and includes a first protruding body, a second protruding body, and a groove, the groove being disposed between the first protruding body and the second protruding body. 
     
     
         3 . The safety connector assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first surface has a first ear portion having a first through hole, and the first end portion extends through the first through hole so as to connect with the first connecting portion. 
     
     
         4 . The safety connector assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the third surface has a second ear portion having a second through hole, and the second end portion extends through the second through hole so as to connect with the second connecting portion. 
     
     
         5 . The safety connector assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , when the first connecting portion interconnects with the second connecting portion, the second surface abuts against the fourth surface. 
     
     
         6 . The safety connector assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first connecting portion is in the form of hemisphere. 
     
     
         7 . The safety connector assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second connecting portion is in the form of hemisphere.
