ABSTRACT:
A connection device for use with a cable includes a link member to permit connection to another article and a housing formed in the link member having a passage therethrough including an annular cavity of larger diameter than the passage. There is a shaft member fixedly mountable to a cable and insertable into the housing passage. The shaft member is formed with an external annular groove. A clip member is mountable in the external annular groove. The connection device is assembled by insertion of the shaft member through the housing passage in a first longitudinal direction to expose the annular groove. The clip member is mounted in the exposed annular groove of the shaft member and the shaft member is retracted into the housing passage in the opposite longitudinal direction to pivotally and releasably connect the link member and the shaft member by virtue of the clip member rotatably engaging in the annular cavity of the housing passage. The connection device of the present invention permits easy replacement or repair if the link member is ever damaged.
