Abstract: A conventional carabiner (11) is molded directly into a plastic base (10), with the pivoted end of a closure gate (23) being toward the base. The base may also restrain a bungee cord (9) by having the end thereof and a wire crimp (15) molded into the base, or the base may have a bungee cord passageway (40) with cleat (41), into which the bungee cord may be pulled so as to lock the base in a desired position along the bungee cord.

Abstract: A terminus (8) for a bungee cord (9) comprises a molded base (10) having a flexible loop (11) anchored by a compression sleeve secured to one end; a free end (23) of the loop has an enlargement (22) which fits through a hole (20) into an enlarged portion (17) of a slot (15), thereby to retain the free end of the loop when the loop is under tension. The loop may be plastic coated aircraft cable. One embodiment includes a cleat (28) to permit adjusting the position of the terminus on the bungee cord, but the bungee cord may be fixed to the terminus if desired.
