Abstract
A strapping connection for a pair of longitudinally extending and transversely overlapping strap ends has a pair of longitudinally extending and interengaging hook formations formed as transversely pushed-out regions of the strap ends and permitting limited movement of the strap ends in one longitudinal direction. In addition the ends are formed in the pair of hook formations with transversely interengaging lock formations fitting transversely snugly together and prohibiting relative longitudinal movement of the strap ends.
