Abstract
A guitar strap connector comprises a body member having a slot for connection of a guitar strap thereto; a generally keyhole-shaped opening in the body member, the keyhole-shaped opening comprising first and second holes having a passageway therebetween, the first hole being larger than the second hole; and a pair of resilient spring-like members integral with the body member and adjacent at least the passageway on respective opposite sides of the passageway, the spring-like members being bowed toward each other and each having a respective void space therebehind to permit the spring-like members to flex away from each other into the void spaces to permit a button connector of a guitar to be passed from the larger hole resiliently through the passageway and into the smaller hole wherein the button connector is engaged. Preferably, the body member is integrally formed of resilient plastic material such as polypropylene.
