Abstract
A coupling device for connecting a wire and a knob of elastic material is disclosed. The wire has one end formed into a hook and a portion curved into a generally U shape and connecting to the hook. The knob has a bore receiving the wire and a wall portion surrounding the bore. The wall portion is formed with a slot engaged by the hook, and a bulge protruding into the bore and engaged with the U-shaped portion of the wire. The bulge is so constructed and arranged as to prohibit removal of the U-shaped portion of the wire from the bore after the bulge has allowed insertion of the U-shaped portion into the bore.
