ABSTRACT:
An aspect of the invention is directed to a method for making an improved slide socket of the type having a snap ring and used to secure a strap, e.g. a football helmet strap, to a conventional flanged stud attached to the helmet. The method includes, in either order, the steps of forming a socket body having a cavity and a retention lip and forming a snap ring retainer member. Both the body and the retainer member are preferably formed of molded plastic material. The method further includes the steps of placing the snap ring into the cavity and inserting the retainer member into the cavity to retain the snap ring. In another aspect of the disclosure, an improved slide socket is also disclosed.
