Cord attachment

摘要

A device for altering the length and tension of a line comprises a generally oblong base part (2) and a separate ring (3). The ring is positioned on one face of the base part (2) and located between two raised end stops (6) thereon. A pair of elongate apertures (8) are formed through the base part (2) and intersect respective channels (10) formed in the underside of the base part (2) and provided with indentations (5) in the bottom walls thereof. Two bights (9) of a line (11) or respective lines pass through the apertures (8) and engage around portions of the ring (3) which is thereby held against the base part (2). Portions of the line(s) (11) is/are trapped in the channels (10) and the indentations (5) therein when the line(s) is/are under tension. A quick release is achieved by lifting one end of the base part (2) and at the same time pushing downwardly on the other end thereof.
