Abstract
A cord locking device including a body carrying a movable slide element having two sets of teeth at its opposite sides for releaseably gripping a pair of cords to lock them against movement in a predetermined direction, with each set of teeth including a first tooth which is relatively sharp and therefore capable of readily locally deforming a surface of the cord in a manner maximizing the tendency for automatic self locking displacement of the slide element by the cord upon longitudinal movement thereof, and including a second tooth which is less sharp and acts to take longitudinal forces exerted by the engaged cord in the ultimate locking condition in a manner protecting the sharper tooth against deformation and damage.
