Abstract
A transverse pin (17) pierces the core (16, 70) of a round or flat bungee cord (12, 69) to anchor the bungee cord within a molded base (11). A single wire sharply folded near its center (20) into a double strand (21, 22) is bent in a semi-circle to form a hook (25). Bent ends (30, 31) of the double strand are molded into the base.
