Cord retaining and fastening device

摘要

A cord retaining and fastening device having a housing with opposed passages through which two cord sections are disposed. A clamping element is removably secured in the housing between at least converging open sections of the passages and is biased towards converging open sections of the passages to clamp one or both of the cord sections when the cord sections are pulled in the biasing direction of the clamping element. When the cords are pulled from the passages, in an opposed direction to the biasing direction, they are free to move out of their respective passages.
