Abstract:
1. A resilient S-shaped hook comprising: a first bend that is joined to a second bend, the second bend extending around a second bend axis, the first bend commencing at a first bend termination and extending along a first curved section to a first bend tip, the first bend tip being at a distance from the first bend termination to create a first internal gap between the first bend tip and the first bend termination; the second bend commencing at a second bend termination that is connected to the first bend termination, the second bend extending from the second end termination along a second curved section to a second bend tip, the second bend tip being at a distance from the second bend termination to create a second internal gap between the second bend tip and the second bend termination, the first bend and said second bend being twisted relative to one another; and a tip securing tab that extends from the second bend tip and is adapted for engaging an area near the second bend termination, so that a closed loop is formed when the tip securing tab engages the area near the second bend termination, and so that flexing of the second bend tip away from the second bend termination is limited.
