ABSTRACT:
A wire locking sleeve and a wire. The sleeve has a bore and a deformation recess adjacent the bore. The sleeve around the bore is deformable toward the recess into a serpentine configuration for interlockingly engaging a portion of the wire disposed therein. Deformation of the sleeve around the bore is achieved by applying a transverse compressive force to the sleeve.
