Claims
- 1. A strap connector assembly for a camera comprising:
- an elongated strap member having a thickness dimension;
- a connector body having a hollow interior with a pair of interior walls on opposite sides thereof and with openings at opposite ends thereof;
- a core member adapted to be placed within said hollow interior of said connector body through one of said openings to grasp said strap member in clamped engagement therein, said core member being adapted to be removed from said interior of said connector body through said one opening to release said clamped engagement;
- said core member being integrally formed to include a pair of opposed walls forming a gap therebetween with two parts of said strap member being held in juxtaposed position within said gap between said walls and a base part having one end spaced away from said opposed walls and extending therefrom to an end face thereof located on a side of said base part opposite said one end;
- said strap member being held when in said clamped engagement with said two juxtaposed parts extending from one side of said gap through the other of said openings in said connector body and from an opposite side of said gap so as to be bent through two essentially 90.degree. turns so as to extend to opposite sides of said base part to between said base part and said interior walls, respectively, of said connector body;
- said one end of said base part being spaced away from said opposed walls defining said gap a distance at least equal to said thickness of said strap member and with a width at least equal to the width of said gap so as to engage said two parts of said strap member and divert said two parts through said two 90.degree. turns and to opposite sides of said base part.
- 2. A strap connector according to claim 1 wherein said strap member is formed with a pair of ends terminating within said connector body between said interior walls and said base part on opposite sides thereof, respectively.
- 3. A strap connector according to claim 1, wherein said strap member is formed to extend outwardly of said connector member through said one opening with both said parts thereof located on opposite sides of said end face of said base part.
- 4. A strap connector according to claim 1, wherein said core member if formed integrally with said camera.
- 5. A strap connector according to claim 1, wherein with said core member placed within said connector body to establish said clamped engagement, said end face of said base part is arranged at said one opening of said connector body so as to form a closure member for said connector body.
- 6. A strap connector according to claim 1, wherein said base part of said core member if formed with a comb-like configuration including projections extending therefrom.
