An anchor for securing an elastic cord includes first and second spaced walls defining an anchoring passage, an anchoring cavity provided at one end of the anchoring passage, at least one retaining tooth projecting into the anchoring cavity for locking engagement with a section of the cord situated within the anchoring cavity, and a non-linear path provided by the anchoring passage and extending from the anchoring cavity to the exterior of the anchor. The non-linear path undergoes at least two changes of direction between the anchoring cavity and the exterior of the anchor. The non-linear path is defined by a pillar extending from the first wall into a recess in the second wall and a bridge section of the second wall, where the bridge section includes opposite ends which are connected by respective webs to the first wall to provide a bridge passage.
