• and
• second releasable hook means comprising a second integral member having a second connector threaded through said second opening and curving back onto itself for attaching said second releasable hook means to said supplemental member, and a second curled portion extending from said second integral member, such that said second integral member is disposed between said second curled portion extending therefrom and said second end, said second curled portion having a second free outer end opposite said second integral member, and a sufficiently small cross sectional area such that, when said clasp is detached from said loop member, the other of said clasp and said loop member may be slipped over said second free outer end and located on said second curled portion inwardly of said second free outer end for enabling said second releasable hook means to releasably ensnare said other of said clasp and said loop member.
