<p>A length adjusting device, particularly for use in fabric articles such as garments, comprising a resiliently extensible tensile element (1) held at a substantially constant length between at least two holding means (2) such as cord locks fixed to a support (3) such as a plastic tube. The free portions (13) of the tensile element can be extended from the holding means, which in turn prevents retraction of the extended portion into a shortened condition until released. The extended portion has an engagement or coupling element (11) for engagement with a corresponding portion (72) on an associated article (7), the length of which is to be adjusted. In the shortened condition, excess slack lengths outside the system can be avoided.</p> |
