Moreover, the connection of the drawstring to the connecting ring further reduces the size of the opening of the connecting ring, thereby suppressing a change in the attitude of the connecting piece, and allowing the connecting piece to slip out of the connecting ring due to the change in the attitude. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent accidental disconnection of the connecting tool, and to secure use.

The connecting member at the other end is hooked from above on both side edges of the widened end portion, and further has a retaining portion for preventing the widened end portion from coming off from a position where the widened portion is caught with the retaining portion. Then, in order to disengage the tip widening portion from the retaining portion, it is necessary to move in a direction away from the retaining portion, that is, in a direction against the tension of the ring body, and to get out of the retaining portion, The connection can be made more difficult to be disconnected, and the use safety is improved.

In this case, the retaining portion and the retaining portion have the same opening width as the opening width of the connecting ring on the connecting ring side of the connecting tool at the other end, and the opening width increases toward the side far from the connecting ring. If the dovetail groove is enlarged, two functions of retaining and detaching can be achieved by one dovetail structure, and the structure is simplified, and the structure is inexpensive and easy to use.

The connecting member at the other end forms a hook at the tip of the widened portion from above, instead of the retaining portion that catches on the both side edges of the widened portion. The widened end portion is passed through the connecting ring, and then the front end portion is engaged with the detachment prevention portion before being hooked on the stopper portion. With a simple operation of merely fitting, it is possible to prevent the front end widening portion from floating from the position where it is caught by the retaining portion, and it is possible to improve the safety of use with a structure convenient for use.
