- a plurality of protrusions 211 are formed on the surface of the upper cover portion
- a stopper 222 which is inserted into the first receptor hole 12 of the outer cover portion 120 so that the control portion 220 is not separated from the control space portion 150, is protruded from one surface of the control portion 220 of the control means 200, and a concave groove 223, through which the decoration means is firmly assembled with the control portion 220, is formed on the other surface of the control portion 220 in opposite to the stopper 22.
- Reference numeral 300 represents connecting means, for integrally connecting the main body 100 and the control means 200, which is formed integrally with the main body 100 and the control means 200 by injection molding and includes an oval-shaped fourth receptor hole 310 for passing the cord C.
- a protuberance 320 is protruded from the periphery of the fourth receptor hole 310 of the connecting means 300, thereby allowing elastic means, which will be described later, to be firmly assembled with the connecting means 300.
- Hnge portions 340 and 340' are respectively provided on a boundary space between the connecting means 300 and the control means 200 and a boundary space between the connecting means 300 and the main body 100.
- the hinge portions 340 and 340' have thicknesses (T) larger than those of other members and widths (W) smaller than those of other members so that the connecting means 300 and the control means 200 are located at their normal positions when the control portion 220 of the control means 200 is placed in the control space portion 150 of the main body 100 and the cord C is received by the first, second, third, and fourth receptor holes 121, 221, 131, and 310.
- Reference numeral 400 represents elastic means, which is assembled with the connecting means 300 to hold, as shown in FlG. 8, the cord (C), having passed the first receptor hole 121 and the second receptor hole 131 of the main body 100, as shown in FlG. 7, for applying an elastic force to the control means 200.
- a through hole 410 the outer circumference of which contacts the protuberance 320 of the connecting means 300, is formed through the elastic means 400 so that the elastic means 400 is firmly assembled with the connecting means 300.

- the number of each of the protrusions 211 and the through holes 510 is four so that the cord lock has a shape of a beetle. Ibwever, the numbers of the protrusions 211 and the through holes 510 do not limited thereto. That is, as shown in FlG. 9, the number of each of the protrusions 211 and the through holes 510 may be one. Accordingly, the present invention is not limited to the numbers and shapes of the protrusions 211 and the through holes 510.
- the cord lock of the present invention has an appearance of a beetle by inserting the protrusions 211 formed on the upper cover portion 210 of the control means 200 into the through holes 510 of the decoration means 500 by the interference fit, thereby having an attractive appearance while having a high quality.
- the protuberance 320 which is protruded from the connecting means 300, is inserted into the elastic means 400 when the elastic means 400 is assembled with the connecting means 300, thereby being capable of firmly assembling the elastic means 400 with the connecting means 300.
- the reinforcing protuberances 420 are protruded from both sides of the through hole 410 of the elastic means 400, thereby increasing the endurance of the elastic means 400 without any deformation.
- the control means 200 is elevated by the elastic force of the elastic means 400, as shown in FlG. 8, thereby easily controlling the length of the cord C by an one-touch manner when a user wants to adjust the length of the cord C, which was held by the cord lock of the present invention.
- the third receptor hole 221 of the control means 200 coincides with the first and second receptor holes 121 and 131 of the main body 100, as shown in FlG. 7, thereby being capable of easily adjusting the length of the cord C.
- the control unit 160 of the main body 100 contacts the surface of the decoration means 500, thereby being capable of more easily and efficiently adjusting the length of the cord C.
- the present invention provides a cord lock comprising a main body, control means, and connecting means, which are produced into one integral component by injection molding thereby having decreased production costs and improved productivity.
- the cord lock of the present invention comprises decoration means, which serves to ornament the external appearance thereof, and is pressed by an one-touch manner so as to release the holding of a cord, thereby being capable of easily adjusting the length of the cord and increasing convenience in use.
