ABSTRACT:
A device for locking cords or the like against longitudinal movement, and including a slide received within a tapering passage in a body and movable axially relative to the body, with a cord extending along a path between a locking portion of the slide and a side wall of the tapering body passage, and with the cord being gripped by a wedging action when the cord is pulled longitudinally, and also by a spring action attained by yieldingly urging the locking portion laterally toward the side wall of the body independently of the camming action. Preferably, the slide has two such locking portions formed as two arms yieldingly urged laterally away from one another and defining two paths along which a pair of cords or the like extend at opposite sides of the slide, with each cord being gripped by both a wedging action and spring action.
