Three Point Slide Connector System

Abstract

A three point connector system that includes a male and female slide connectors that selectively engage when pressed together. Each slide connector includes a flat body with a hole or slot formed near its distal end in which a strap or cord may attach. The male slide connector includes at least two elastic arms that fit into an end opening formed on the proximal end of the female slide connector. Attached or formed on the top surfaces of the male and female slide connectors are two perpendicularly aligned arc members each with a center opening. The arc members are complimentary in shape and extend upward from the proximal end of the flat body. Each arc member includes an outer flat surface. When the male and female slide connectors are connected together, the two arc members are parallel and adjacent to form a fully assembled, enclosed D-ring. A suitable clip attached to a third strap member may attached around the enclosed eyelet that holds the two arc members together and prevents disconnection of the male and female slide connectors.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A three point connector system, comprising,
 a. a male slide connector with a flat body with distal end and a proximal end, said male slide connector includes a hole formed near the distal end in which a strap or cord is inserted and at least two elastic arms extending longitudinally from said flat body, said flat body also includes a perpendicular arc member with a center hole formed near said proximal end;   b. a female slide connector includes a flat body with an end opening and a hole formed near its distal end that receives a strap or cord, said flat body also includes an end opening configured to receive and selectively hold said elastic arms on said male slide connector, said female slide connector also includes a perpendicular arc member with a center hole and aligned perpendicular on said flat body; and,   c. whereby when said elastic arms on said male slide connector are inserted into said end opening formed on said female slide connector, said arc members are positioned in a side-by-side manner with their center holes aligned and registered to form a D-ring with a large continuous hole that receives the clip on a third strap that holds said arc members together and prevents said male slide connector and said female slide connector from disconnecting.
