Dumb Question But...

Does anyone know what the little triangular rings on some cameras are called? I'm looking for some of these but I can't find any packs of them probably because they have some specific hardware name that I'm not aware of besides just "triangular camera rings." I'm using very small O rings to connect hooks up to my straps on my K-30's because that's all I could find so far. The hooks I use can't be hooked to the camera's strap slots, too big, but the O rings are a bit awkward looking even at that small a size. The ones on my E-P3's are perfect. I'd really prefer to have ones that look like this. They're sort of like small triangular key rings with plastic clips over that.

Thanks, that helps. Lug was the word I could not remember there for a sec. Unfortunately so far that's the only place I can find them and I don't use Ebay. I may have to resort to pulling some off my damaged cameras. I think I might have a couple of pairs on some old film cameras that are in non working order now that I think about it. I would have preferred new ones but I guess I can cannibalize the old broken cameras if they have some. I'll have to check and see. I need three pairs...

Ah, finally found some but darn they're expensive little buggers! Definitely going to be cannibalizing I think....
