US Patent 7571944 Safety and rescue carabiner holder

A safety and rescue carabiner holder for securing a carabiner with its gate in the open position while extending the user's reach several feet in any direction, which is also capable of supporting a long and heavy segment of attached safety rope. The carabiner holder is mounted to the end of an extension pole and includes a restraining structure that grips the bottom of the carabiner and a set of spring-loaded jaw arms that firmly clamp the spine and gate arm of the carabiner in a manner strong enough to withstand any inadvertent shaking and bouncing, ensuring that the carabiner will stay in place until hooked into a target ring and the user releases the carabiner by pulling backwards on the extension pole.
