[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. The cord stopper of this embodiment has a pair of holding members 10 and 12 as shown in the drawing.
Are integrally molded with resin while being connected by the hinge portion 13. As shown in FIG. 1, the ends of the cord 14 are inserted between the holding members 10 and 12, and the ends of the cord 14 are held by closing the holding members 10 and 12. In the vicinity of the hinge portion 13, the holding member 10,
When the members 12 are closed, the recesses 15 and the protrusions 17 that are fitted to each other with a strength capable of holding and fixing each other are
12 are formed. The concave portion 15 and the convex portion 17 may be provided on either of the holding members 10 and 12,
One pair may be formed for each.

A notch 19 is formed in the holding member 10 on the side opposite to the hinge portion 13 for forming a cord insertion hole 16 into which the cord 14 is inserted. At the inner portion where the holding member 10 and the holding member 12 face each other, a housing portion 18 for housing the string 14 is formed by the peripheral edge portion of the holding member 10. A plurality of pyramid-shaped projections 20 are provided on the inner surface of the accommodating portion 18.
Are provided in two rows symmetrically with respect to the center line of the string 14 in the insertion direction. On the surface of the protrusion 20 on the side of the string insertion hole 16, an inclined surface is formed which is inclined from the base end portion to the tip end portion from the string insertion hole 16 toward the hinge portion 13 side, and the surface opposite to this surface is a string. It is located at a right angle to the insertion direction of 14.

On the outside of the protrusion 20 of the accommodating portion 18, the cord 14 is attached.
A pair of support walls 22 for restricting the range through which is inserted is formed from the notch portion 19 side toward the hinge portion 13 side. Inside the support wall 22, facing each other, 2
A pair of projecting pieces 24 is formed. The projecting piece 24 has slopes inclined toward the center side and is formed in a triangular pyramid shape.

Further, the holding member 12 is formed so as to cover the accommodating portion 18 of the holding member 10, and on the inner surface side thereof, the protrusions 20 are similarly arranged in two rows at positions where the protrusions 20 in the accommodating portion 18 do not interfere. Has been formed. The string insertion hole 16 of this protrusion 20
On the side surface, an inclined surface that is inclined from the base end portion to the distal end portion is formed from the string insertion hole 16 toward the hinge portion 13 side, and the opposite surface is positioned at a right angle to the insertion direction of the string 14. ing. The string 1 is provided between the protrusions 20 of the holding member 12.
A quadrangular pyramid-shaped cord retainer 26 is formed at the center of the insertion portion 4.

In the vicinity of the hinge portion 13 of the holding members 10 and 12, an accommodation recess 30 for accommodating the end portion of the string 14 is formed. In addition, a pair of locking pieces 32 are formed on both side edge portions of the holding member 12, and in a closed state, an engaged portion 34 is formed on a side edge portion of the holding member 10 facing the locking pieces. Has been formed. The engaging portion 32 has a hook-like shape that protrudes outward in the directions opposite to each other, and the engaged portion 34 is the engaging portion 3.
2 is formed of a slit-shaped through hole that can be inserted, and the outer peripheral edge portion of this through hole serves as the engaged portion 34 to which the engaging portion 32 is engaged.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the outer surfaces of the holding members 10 and 12 are formed so as to project outward in the vicinity of the hinge portion 13. The surfaces of the holding members 10 and 12 are picked up by fingers. A step portion 36 is formed to improve the catch of the.

The method of using the cord stopper of this embodiment is as follows. First, as shown in FIG.
The string 14 is inserted from the notch 19 side, and the tip of the string 14 is positioned in the accommodation recess 30. Then, the holding member 12 is bent at the hinge portion 13 to close the holding members 10 and 12 together. At this time, the concave portion 15 and the convex portion 17 are fitted to each other, and the holding members 10 and 12 are fixed in the closed state. Further, the engaging portion 32 and the engaged portion 34 are engaged with each other, and similarly, the holding members 10 and 12 are fixed in the closed state. This allows
The string 14 is maintained in a state in which the string 14 is reliably sandwiched between the protrusions 20 on both sides by the projecting piece 24 and the string retainer 26, and the protrusion 20 bites from both sides to securely hold the holding members 10 and 12.
It is held in the accommodating portion 18 in between.

Further, the slant surface formed from the base end portion to the tip end portion of the projection 20 allows the string 14 to be pulled toward the hinge side to adjust the length thereof, and moreover, the string insertion hole 1
With respect to the force of pulling to the 6 side, the protrusion 20 is positioned at right angles to the pulling direction, and the protrusion 20 surely bites into the cord 14 to hold the cord 14.

According to the cord stopper of this embodiment, the cord 14
End portions of the cords 14 are inserted through the cord insertion holes 16 of the holding members 10 and 12 toward the hinge side, and the end portions of the cords 14 are accommodated in the accommodating recesses 30 with a margin, so that the cord 14 can be easily inserted and fixed. Moreover, the end portion of the cord is not exposed from the cord stopper, which is good in appearance. Further, even if the hinge portion 13 is damaged, the holding members 10 and 12 are securely connected to each other by the concave portion 15 and the convex portion 17, and the engaging portion 32 and the engaged portion 34, and are not easily detached. is there.

The cord stopper according to the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and for example, the shape, position, number and the like of the concave and convex portions can be arbitrarily set, and the engaging portion and the covered portion can be set. The engaging portion can also be formed in an appropriate shape. further,
The position of the hinge portion may be formed on a side surface parallel to the insertion direction of the string other than the end part of the string. Further, the shape of the protrusion may be a triangular pyramid or a cone, and can be selected appropriately.

[0018]

According to the cord stopper of the present invention, since the cord is held by the holding member connected by the hinge, the cord can be easily held, and when the cord is inserted toward the hinge portion, the cord can be inserted. The ends are not exposed to the outside. Also,
Since the concave and convex portions are provided on the holding member and they are fitted to each other so as to be held and fixed, even if the hinge portion is damaged, the pair of holding members will not come off. Further, since the projecting piece and the string retainer are formed in the accommodating portion, the string is securely held and fixed, and the string attaching operation is easy. Further, since the accommodating recess is formed at the end portion of the string in the insertion direction, the string end portion can be securely held and fixed even when the string end portion is located in an excessive amount or is melted and is difficult to be crushed. Further, since the string insertion hole is formed on the side different from the hinge part, the string can be easily attached without interference with the hinge part when attaching the string.
