According to this invention, the element consists of a strand, a socket at one end of the strand and a head at the other end of the strand with the socket having an opening extending through it, so that the head can be inserted into one end of the opening and then out the other end of the Opening protrudes, and wherein the head is slightly larger than the socket and the socket itself is elastic is so that the insertion of the head causes expansion of the socket and that the socket after the Head is inserted, snaps behind the head to prevent the head from being pulled out of the socket. Preferably, the other end of the socket is slotted to facilitate expansion and the socket is round and the head conical. In the preferred embodiment orm, the portion of the cord near the head has a smaller diameter and is brittle, so that the protruding head can be broken off in order to pull the strand out of the socket.

The invention is described below with reference to the drawing. Point in it

In the particular chosen for the purpose of the presentation Embodiment of the invention consists of the element a strand 1, a socket 2 and a head 3 »the inserted into the socket «can be grounded, and the strand has an extension 4 for attachment to an

shield T. Behind the head 3 is the strand with two extensions 6 and 7 and two sections 8 and 9 of enlarged diameter to facilitate the insertion of the

Head into the socket and limit the extent of insertion. Immediately behind the head is a neck 11 of reduced diameter. As shown in Fig., The socket is round and has an axial Opening through which the head can pass. The exit end of the socket is slotted to accommodate fingers 12 shapes that converge to encircle the neck 11 tightly. The element is made of elastic material, such as B. nylon so that when the head is inserted the fingers expand and then behind the head snap as shown in Fig. 4. To detach the head end of the strand from the socket, the head can be attached to the Neck 11 can be broken off, and to facilitate this breaking off, the neck may have been left to to increase his mortality. If nylon is used, the element, or at least the head end of the element, preferably tempered for about three minutes at a temperature of about 115 ° C. The element will preferably pressed and stretched.

The element can be attached to the tag T, as described in the simultaneously filed patent application "/ entitled" combination between a tag

and a strand "is described and claimed. How it is explained there, the end 4 is provided with an extension 13 which has a side stool that is inserted through an opening in the tag, and after insertion, the protruding end of the The hump is expanded by heat and pressure to form a head 14.

In the modification shown in FIG. 5, the version 12, which corresponds to the version 12 in FIG. 4, serves at the same time for attaching the strand 4 * to the tag S and thus fulfills the purposes of part 12 as well of parts 13 and 14 in Figs. 1 to 4. In the modification, the socket is equipped with parts 13 'and 14' which correspond to parts 13 and 14 of FIGS. 1 to 4, and is attached to the tag in the same way as the first version.
