ABSTRACT:
A device for releasably holding at least two cords includes an aperture for receiving a first cord and an elongated slot for releasably receiving a second cord. The device further includes an engagement surface below the aperture for contacting and retaining an enlarged region of the first cord. An inclined biasing surface at least partially below the slot contacts an enlarged region of the second cord and urges the second cord into a stable position. The second cord may be released from the device via the slot by sliding the enlarged region of the second cord along the biasing surface in response to a force tending to separate the cords. The aperture and the slot are preferably formed in inclined upper walls meeting in an apex region and the biasing surface is preferably spaced from the upper wall of the device in which the elongated slot is formed. The device may be made, such as by injection molding, as a single piece or as two mating halves.
