ABSTRACT:
An end tip for an elastic-cord-connected compactable tubular assembly (14). The tip has an insertable body portion (10) which acts as the elastic cord retainer. Because of two longitudinal channels (11) and a connecting cross hole (12), the tensioned elastic cord (13) is doubly locked and anchored onto this insertable portion of the end tip with no knots required for attachment. The locked portions of elastic cord (13) also act as a wedge to secure the end tip within the ends of the tubular assembly (14) during use, yet allow the tip/cord to be removed by hand for repair of the tubular assembly, or for elastic cord retensioning or replacement.
