One of said first apertures is provided in the root of the loop. The lateral portion of the root of said loop facing away from said loop is shaped with a convacity that is essentially complementary to a portion of another opposite loop in which said second aperture is provided. The concavity and complementary portion of the loop are shaped and dimensioned for non-capture engagement when touch directly together in response to loop flexing.
