ABSTRACT:
A luggage carrying strap connector has a stud with a shank that protrudes perpendicularly from the carrying strap and ends in a head that is larger than the shank. The head and a shank protrude through an aperture in a clasp secured to the end of the strap. A bight in the end of the clasp bears the luggage weight, thus enabling the clasp to take advantage of the luggage weight to increase the strength of the engagement between the stud and the clasp. Resilient members have portions that protrude into the bight to form a gap that is smaller then the corresponding width of the shank to prevent connector disengagement during normal handling but also to avoid impeding coupling and uncoupling the stud and the clasp.
