International Classification:

F16G 1100

US Classification:

24115H

Abstract:

A cord retainer assembly constructed of two cooperating parts: a cord holder part and a cord lock part. The cord holder part is molded as a one-piece plastic elongate housing having a tapered nose portion with two spaced apart apertures formed at one end and having a central opening formed at the other end. The cord lock part is formed of a one-piece plastic elongate slider member which is conformably shaped to be slidably disposed within the hollow housing and has a handle portion which extends outwardly of its central opening. The slider member is formed with a pair of laterally extending gripping teeth for selectively restraining a length of cord which is threaded through the housing. The slider member is releasably latched within the housing member by a ratcheting mechanism composed of a plurality of serrated teeth formed longitudinally along an inside surface of the housing which mate with a second plurality of serrated teeth formed longitudinally along the slider member. A release means is provided for selectively disengaging the second plurality of teeth from the first plurality of teeth to permit the slider movement to be displaced outwardly of the housing and thereby free the gripping force on the length of cord threaded through the housing.
