ABSTRACT:
A strap retainer comprising a flexible elongated body having two planar sides and two free ends adapted for closure on to each other. A locking pawl is integrally formed with one free end and comprises a post and a head section having two locking legs. A receptacle for the locking pawl is integrally formed with the other free end. The receptacle has top and bottom surfaces that are parallel to the planar sides of the body. There is a cavity in the top surface of the receptacle, having an enlarged section and a narrow section extending through the free end of the receptacle. There are two apertures on either side of the narrow section that extend toward the free end. Inserting the locking pawl into the cavity and sliding it toward the free end of the receptacle causes the legs to snap into the apertures and lock the locking pawl into the receptacle, to permanently close the strap retainer.
