ABSTRACT:
A fastener for cords includes a support body, a first flexible lever arm and a second flexible lever arm. The support body has an insertion device to guide a cord onto a main surface thereof. The first flexible lever arm is provided on the main surface of the support body and has a free jaw end. The first flexible lever arm has a cord guide to guide the cord from the insertion device of the support body to the free jaw end of the first lever arm. The second flexible lever arm is also provided on the main surface of the support body. The second flexible lever arm has a free jaw end opposing the free jaw end of the first flexible lever arm with a cord path being defined between the free jaw ends of the first and second flexible lever arms, the cord path having a width that is variable with flexing of the first lever arm. The second flexible lever arm has a retentive hooking tooth provided at a tip of the free jaw end thereof. The free jaw end of the first flexible lever arm fits under the retentive hooking tooth such that the retentive hooking tooth retains the first flexible lever arm in a flexed position. The second flexible lever arm has loosening device thereon for releasing the first flexible lever arm from under the retentive hooking tooth.
