Abstract
A wire gripping device which comprises a body having an internal cavity. There is at least one opening into the cavity whereby a portion of a wire member can be located within the cavity. Inside the cavity there is at least one wire engaging member which is positioned therein by resilient means. The wire engaging member has a wire engaging surface which is located adjacent to but spaced from a fixed surface within the cavity so that a wire member can be moved longitudinally into the cavity in one direction but is prevented from being removed by the engaging member wedging the wire member between the engaging surface and the fixed surface.
