Automatic carabiner for a harpoon line!

Zahar, I just tried it for you. It works with one hand too, even with gloves. I will make a video when it would be finished...

Here are both videos together.

Where is the glove and where is the one hand in the glove?

The video would be unclear because the gloves would cover the small "carabiner" (only 45 mm). It is tricky to do it with one hand but it is possible. Third i forth finger hold the body of the "carabiner" and you use thumb end the index finger to turn the latch. It would be easyer if the "carabiner" were longer (60 mm) But why to do that when you have two hands?
You said "The carbine should not break or open when passing through the body of a fish or other obstacle pierced by a harpoon!" I agree with this! But what do you think, does your design using rubber and plastic parts fulfill these requirements? I dont think so.. This is more important than using it with one hand.

It is better to see once than to read 100 times! I showed a video of the work with one hand in a glove - You do not! Because I spent a lot of time looking for a solution - You one day! My carabiner is stopped with metal tubes and 3mm pins! The middle part of the carabiner is larger than the diameter of the rubber hose and the hose is not damaged mechanically! The hose can be replaced without disassembling the carabiner! Latex is used as rubber! You will definitely succeed!
