A cord clamp (10) for securely retaining a flexible cord (68), drawstring, and the like in a selected position includes a plunger member (12), a compression spring (14), a retaining ring (16) , and a body housing (18) . Means such as resiliently deflectable prongs (40) initially hold together a sub-assembly of the plunger member (12), compression spring (14) and retaining ring (16). The compression spring (14) is compressed in the sub-assembly so that a throughhole (32) in the plunger member (12) can readily be brought into alignment with a pair of holes (52a, 52b) in the body housing (18) for insertion of the cord (68). Once the cord (68) is threaded through the aligned holes (52a, 32, 52b), the plunger member (12) is depressed downwardly and released to allow the compression spring (14) to expand and urge the plunger member (12) to move up, thereby locking the cord (68) between the plunger member (12) and the body housing (18). <IMAGE> |
