Abstract: A connector for securing a guitar to a strap, having a body with an opening and an engagement member slidable within the body. The engagement member has an opening with two portions. The first portion is large enough to receive the anchor post and the second portion is narrow enough to prevent the anchor post from passing through it. The user slides the first portion into alignment with the opening in the body and inserts the anchor post. Then, the user slides the engagement member so that the second portion impedes the release of the anchor post. The body may also have an opening for removal of the engagement member and/or an opening to facilitate sliding of the engagement member. Also there is disclosed a flexible support with one or more connectors and a strap, and a system including connector(s), a strap and a guitar.

Abstract: A connector for securing a guitar, stringed instrument or other article to a strap, having a body with an opening for mounting to an anchor post, and an engagement member slidable within the body. The engagement member has a second opening with a first portion and second portion. The first portion is large enough to receive the head of the anchor post and the second portion is narrow enough to prevent the anchor post from passing through it. The user slides the first portion of the second opening into alignment with the opening in the body and then inserts the anchor post into both the opening and the first portion of the second opening. Then, the user sides the engagement member so that the second portion of the second opening is in alignment with the first opening, impeding the release of the anchor post from the connector. Optionally, the body may have a third opening for removal and replacement of the engagement member and/or a fourth opening to facilitate sliding of the engagement member within the body.
