Abstract
A plastic swivel connector for releasably attaching articles together and a mold are provided in complementary architectures which permit the connector to easily be injection molded in a one-shot process with substantial reductions in cycle time and post molding operations compared with other processes for fabricating parts of similar complexity and function. In preferred form, the connector comprises two major parts with one attachable to a garment bag strap and the other clippable to a ring on the bag. One of the connector parts has two intersecting spaces which provide access for interfacing cavity portions that define the connector swivel features and along with other cavity surfaces permit the connector parts to be molded in sequential fashion within the cavity while retaining their identity as separate rotatable parts upon ejection.
