ABSTRACT:
A device for attaching a leash to a body board or similar device consisting of male and a female coupler each having an elongated body and an enlarged disk shaped head having a planer inner face for contacting the upper and lower surfaces of the board when the device when the couplers are secured together in the board. The head of the coupler on the upper surface of the board is provided with a leash cord passage which is located along a radius of the coupler between the elongated body and the periphery of the disk shaped head. The leash cord passage opens to the upper and inner faces of the head. A slit is provided in the head to extend radially from the passage to the periphery of the head. The head is sufficiently resilient so that portions of the head adjacent the slit can be bent to open the slit and upon release of the bending force will return to their normal position with the slit closed. The leash is installed by forming a loop around the body of the coupler and passing the body of the cord forming the free ends through the open slit into the cord passage.
