Abstract
An elastic cord member and connector arrangement includes a connector having a coupling hole and two opposite notches at two opposite sides of said coupling hole and two opposite notches at two opposite sides of said coupling hole, an elastic cord member, and a coupling hole and two opposite notches at two opposite side of said coupling hole, an elastic cord member, and a coupling socket fixedly secured to one end of the elastic cord member and detachably coupled to the coupling hole of the connector by way of a spring supporting one end on the inside of the coupling hole of the connector, and by way of two locating lugs raised from the periphery at two opposite sides and adapted for inserting into notches of the coupling hole of the connector. The connector has two L-shaped locating holes vertically spaced at two opposite sides and arranged in reversed directions and respectively disposed in communication with the notches of the coupling hole of the connector. Each of the L-shaped locating holes has a length extending over the corresponding notch of the coupling hole, a depth extending over the bottom side of the corresponding notch of the coupling hole, and a width longer than the depth of the locating lugs of the coupling socket, so that the locating lugs of said coupling socket can be forced into engagement with the L-shaped locating holes by turning the coupling socket in the coupling hole of the connector.
