Embodiments of the present invention provide a cord lock assembly configu red to selectively tighten and loosen a draw cord of an article. The cord lo ck assembly may include a shell, a piston and a spring member. The shell def ines an interior chamber and includes aligned shell cord passages. The pisto n is slidably retained within the interior chamber. The piston includes a pi ston cord passage formed therethrough. The spring member exerts a force into the piston within the shell so that the piston cord passage is misaligned w ith respect to the shell cord passages in a locked position. A cord may be o peratively secured to the piston and may be configured to be pulled to move the piston to align the piston cord passage with the shell cord passages in an unlocked position so that a draw cord may freely pass therethrough. |
