ABSTRACT:
A hookless connecting ring. An elongate member having two ends is formed in a loop defining axial and circumferential directions. The loop, in the absence of any applied forces, forms a closed configuration of the connecting ring in which the loop is in state of relaxation and the ends assume an overlapping relation for closing the loop. The ends remain, however, freely displaceable from one another along the axial and circumferential directions and depend on substantially elastic restoring forces in the member to maintain the closed configuration.
