A closure device with a press release lever is disclosed. The closure device includes an elongated member having a longitudinal axis, a retaining housing at one end, a flexible middle section, and a free end portion at another end. The retaining housing has a first wall connected to the middle section, a second wall opposing the first wall, third and fourth walls opposing each other and formed integrally with the first and second walls. A lever is connected to the first wall for releasably retaining the flexible middle section. The lever includes a middle-section-engaging surface, a press-to-release-actuating end, and is biased against movement in one direction. A passage is formed in the retaining housing for receiving the free end portion and the flexible middle section. Various shapes of the flexible middle section are disclosed for releasably retaining the flexible middle section in an engaged position within the retaining housing in cooperation with the middle-section-engaging surface of the lever. The free end portion has a tapered surface tapering away from the middle section.
