Abstract: A hook-connector includes a first hook part and a second hook part. Each hook part includes a first plate and a second plate. The plates have a cord opening defined there-through. The hook-connector further includes a hub disposed between the first and second plates which hold the plates in essentially parallel, spaced apart relationship. The hook-connector further includes a hook member attached to a first end of at least one of the first or second plates. The hook member includes a hook element defining a hook opening, and the hook opening is sized to receive the hub of a corresponding hook part. The hook-connector further includes a means for ensuring a positive and releasable engagement of each hook element about the hub of the corresponding hook part.

Abstract: A hook-connector includes a first hook part and a second hook part. Each of the first hook part and the second hook part include a first plate and a second plate, and a hub disposed between the first and second plates. The hub holds the first and second plates in essentially parallel, spaced apart relationship. The hub and the first and second plates define a cord opening there-through. The hook-connector further includes a hook member that is attached to a first end of the first and second plates. The hook member includes a hook element that defines a hook opening that is sized to receive the hub of a corresponding hook part. The hook member further defines a sloped portion configured to slidingly mate against the sloped portion of the corresponding hook part in one mating configuration of the first and second hook parts.
