each connector between the direction of attachment 17 be less than or about 90 degrees to the axis of line tension 20 this is so that tension placed on the lines will not cause the connectors 10 10 u2032 to be pulled apart in fact an angle less than 90 degrees is superior in preventing the connectors from being pulled apart note also that in the embodiment shown the snap in portions 7 7 u2032 are longer than needed to make the connection this provides leverage for the user to make it easier to twist the two connectors 10 10 u2032 apart for smaller applications the connectors may be twisted apart with one hand referring now to fig4 there is shown a line connector 10 attached to a line 12 which is attached to on object 25 such as a flotation device a point of attachment 21 is provided to attach the line to the object the connector 10 of the disclosure will preferably be made of a resilient material such as a polymer plastic so as to enable the use of the u201c snap on u201d feature of course to effect a u201c snap on u201d capability only one of the other of the snap on 9 or snap in 7 portions need be resilient but molding the entire connector of the same material is easier and more cost efficient nevertheless for heavy loads it may be found necessary to use different materials for different portions of the connector or even to abandon.
