ABSTRACT:
A hook is retained to an article to which it is connected a flexible rubber keeper member in the form of a strip having a pair of holes formed therein through which opposing portions of the "U" of the hook are fitted. The rubber keeper is removably held in position on the hook by virtue of the elasticity of such keeper, and further, in one embodiment, by means of a pair of grooves formed in the "U" portion of the hook into which one of the apertured portions of the keeper fits. In another embodiment of the invention, such retention is aided by means of a dimple formed in this "U" portion over and beyond which one of the apertured portions of the keeper is pulled, this dimple inhibiting the removal of this apertured portion of the hook. The keeper thus provides an economical, firm retainer for the hook which can readily be removed therefrom to terminate such retention action by pulling an end of the keeper in a manner such that the elasticity thereof enables the unseating of one of the keeper apertures from its position on the hook.
