Abstract
A shacke and clevis pin are provided whereby the shackle and clevis pin cannot be separated from each other. It is possible to attach a cable or a chain or a rope to the shackle. It is also possible to attach a cable or a rope or a chain to the clevis pin. The clevis pin and the shackle join to ropes and/or cables and/or chains together. There is a provision for precluding the clevis pin from being withdrawn, completely, from the shackle. Also, there is provision with the shackle and clevis pin so that one operator can connect a cable or cables to the shackle and clevis pin thereby eliminating two operators in operating the shackle and clevis pin. The spring urges a locking lever to lock the clevis pin and shackle together and to preclude the rotation of the clevis pin and shackle with respect to each other.
