Detachable Clip for Bungee Cords and Methods of Use

摘要

A detachable clip for adjustably shortening a bungee cord or linking multiple bungee cords in an elastic mesh, each bungee cord having two hooks and each clip having a generally planar body with two slots for receiving the cord, where each slot has an open end and a blind end and is configured to precisely squeeze the rubbery core of the cord so that it bulges up around the clip and does not slip under a standard range of loads.

主权项

1. A detachable clip for interchangeable uses with one or more bungee cords, said clip comprising
(a) a body plate, the body plate having two ends and two sides, a thickness, and three rigidly conjoined segments, each segment having two edges; (b) wherein a first lateral segment and a middle segment define a first slot therebetween, the slot having an open end, a blind end, and an inside width dimension configured to sliplessly grip a compatible cord when inserted therein; (c) wherein the middle segment and a second lateral segment define a second slot therebetween, the slot having an open end, a blind end pocket, and an inside width dimension configured to sliplessly grip a compatible cord when inserted thereon; and, (d) wherein the first segment and the second segment are contralaterally disposed on the body such that the open end of the first slot and the open end of the second slot are oriented toward opposite ends of the body and the slots are generally disposed contralaterally along the sides of the body on opposite edges of the middle segment, thereby forming a generally “S”-shaped body.
