Abstract
A hook adapted to be attached to an elongated cord, comprising a hook body having a base, a side and a top curved portion and a latch attached to the base portion. The free end of the latch can be releasably locked to the hook body. A flexible member extends upward from the base in between the side of the hook body and the latch so that the latch and the tongue define a space in which the cord is placed. The cord can be securely attached to the hook by placing the cord between the flexible member and the latch and then locking the latch to the hook body. Upon locking the latch, the cord cannot slide or rotate within the space and is thus securely attached to the hook. The invention also comprises an automobile cargo net on which a plurality of such hooks are attached.
