Abstract

See full text

A pull tab is formed by a cord having a cord retaining member at one end and a plug at the other end. The plug has a flap connected to one end, the flap having an open position where the flap is connected to the plug only at one end of the flap, and a closed position where the entire flap is secured to the plug. The cord retaining member has first and second channels therethrough, with the second channel being larger than the first channel. When the flap is open, the plug fits though both the first and second channels, and when the flap is closed, the plug fits only within the second channel. The pull tab is assembled by feeding the plug through the channels, moving the flap to the closed position and pulling the plug back through the second channel until the plug is seated in the second channel.
