This invention relates to a cord clamp 3 with push button quick release 18 which is adapted to bind one or more flexible cords 1 or strings by freely pulling said cord 1 to the desired point of binding upon which the cord is clamped against retreating until such time as the button 18 is depressed upon which the cord is freely released. Although this invention may be employed for various applications it is especially well suited for fastening / tightening footwear laces and draw strings of clothing and bags. The clamping is through a pair of grippers 4 & 7, both of which preferably have gripping teeth, and preferably one 4 is stationary and integral to the body 3. Preferably the push button 18 acts on a cam surface 10 formed in the movable gripper 7 to withdraw it from the cord 1 (see fig 2). |
