Abstract
Abstract A novelty device has a tubular body into one end of which extends a flexible member. That end of the flexible member accommodated within the tubular body is secured to an anchor member. The anchor member is retained in the tubular body by retaining lips formed at the one end of the body and which extend toward one another so as to prevent passage of the anchor member outwardly of the tubular body.
