Abstract
A terminus () for a bungee cord () has a hook () with a transverse axis () which is within a given distance of the longitudinal axis () of a bore () within the stem () of the terminus. A cleat () opens into a cord passage () leading to the bore () to permit pulling a cord () into the cleat () thereby locking the terminus in position on the cord (). The relative axial alignment of the load in the cord () with the transverse axis () of the hook () prevents the load () from rotating the hook substantially. A land () adjusts the thickness of the cleat.
