Elastic cord lock upper member

A mechanical cord lock forming a non-slipping loop in an elastic cord such as elastic bungee cord employed in a vehicle restraining net is disclosed. The connector includes two releasably engageable parts one of which has concave sidewalls formed on opposite sides thereof and a central wall formed intermediate the concave sidewalls. The second part has spaced concave sidewalls each with a pair of depending legs formed on opposite end walls which when mated with the first connector part defines two tortuous paths through the connector parts which ensure that the elastic cord lengths that are placed therethrough in a stretched position remain in such position without slippage.
