Abstract
A hook device for bungee cords comprising a pair of opposing hooks whose bends substantially overlap when the device is in a closed configuration. The hooks may rotate away from each other into an opened configuration to enclose an object, and the hooks may rotate towards each other into a crossed configuration to provide a pull tab. The hooks are resistively held in each configuration by retaining elements. One hook may have a shallow throat to enable insertion into narrow openings.
