Patent ID: 7803174

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a connector body having two passages for elongated members and an anchor passage between said elongated member passages, each of said passages having a respective diameter, said body having a top portion and a bottom portion, said anchor passage extending through said portions from an upper surface of said top portion to a lower surface of said bottom portion, and said top portion having a slot running substantially parallel with said anchor passage that communicates with said anchor passage, said top portion being bendable so that bending at least part of said top portion toward said bottom portion reduces the diameter of at least one of said elongated member passages, and wherein said top portion has a first side part generally over a first of said passages and a second side part generally over a second of said passages, said first and second side parts being separated by said slot, and wherein said first side part is bendable around a first axis adjacent said first passage, and said second side part is bendable around a second axis adjacent said second passage; and wherein bending said first and second side parts of said top portion reduces the diameter of both of said first and second passages; and wherein said connector body includes opposite side portions that each extend continuously between said top and bottom portions to enclose said first and second passages.
