ABSTRACT:
A coupler for use in swivably independently securing the remote ends of a monofilament or wire, which wire is constantly in a cantilever bending motion at its remote end when folded and necessitates a freedom of rotation. The connector itself has a preferably cylindrical body having two tapered elongate nesting pockets which are separated from each other by an interior stop at the mid-portion of the connector cylindrical body. The elongate pockets are characterized by a taper which is dimensioned to receive and friction fittingly engage the remote ends of a wire or monofilament a spaced distance from the central stop of the connector cylindrical body. The method contemplates forming such a connector, and then after the wire or monofilament is coiled and slop fittingly engaged with the entire skin of the enclosure, placing one end of the connector over one free end of the wire or filament, and then bending the other end into alignment with the first fitted end and the opposite elongate pocket and inserting the same into the second pocket.
