Abstract
A fastener for securing in position a string to be used for gathering the skirt of a coat or the open edge of a pouch, for example, is constructed of a housing provided therein with a blind cavity, a sliding member admitted into the blind cavity of the housing, and a spring interposed between the housing and the sliding member; the housing and the sliding member being respectively provided laterally therein with perforations and insertion holes adapted to come into mutual coincidence when the sliding member is pushed into the housing against the energizing force of the spring. Since opposed end portions of a given string can be inserted sidewise through the coinciding insertion holes into the perforations, this string fastener can be used advantageously without requiring the opposed end portions of the string to be always kept in mutual contact. It imposes no limitation upon the length of the string to be tied and enjoys ease of handling.
