  • Publication number: 20170202312
    Abstract: An interchangeable drawstring having each end provided with a connecting aglet. The aglets allow two or more drawstrings to connect together, forming one extended drawstrings. The extended drawstring is then pulled through the garment either from an existing drawstring of the same design or by way of the threading tool that possesses the same designed aglets until the newly connected section of the drawstring is in position of the original drawstring. The user, now having the pulled/inserted drawstring into position, then disconnects the extended drawstring completing the change. The first connecting aglet has a free spinning threading component that allows the drawstring to thread to the second connecting drawstring without having to twist the drawstring during connection. First time insertions of the drawstrings are done with the threaded connectable aglet attached to a small threading tool designed with aglets of the same design as the drawstring.
