Abstract
A self releasing connector for a log choker has double ended jaws that are pivotally movable between an open and a closed position. A biasing spring urges the jaws to normally open position. With jaws open an end of choker cable is insertable and the jaws are closed to retain the end of the choker. A holder is slidably movable to retain the jaws in the closed position. The choker cable is extended through eyelets on the opposite ends of the jaws. Tension applied to the choker cable will force further closing of the jaws and the holder is released. Upon release of the tension on the choker cable the spring urges the jaws open to release the end of the choker cable. An auxiliary lock may be provided to maintain the holder in position to maintain the jaws in the locked position.
