Abstract: A grommet comprises a pair of mating telescoping halves with each half comprising a tubular body and a flange extending radially outward therefrom. The body of one half is disposed over and about the body of the other half. The flange on one half is spaced from the flange on the other half. The inner surfaces of the outer body includes a radially inwardly extending projection and the outer surface of the inner body includes at least one recess receiving the projection for securing one half relative to the other to form the grommet.

Abstract: A cord lock includes a base and a pair of resilient jaws arranged to engage and lock into one or more cords. One of the jaws includes a handle arm for separating the jaws.

Abstract: A molded plastic cord lock is formed of a molded generally rectilinear housing having a recess, and transverse through holes in the sides of the housing; and a molded insert having an integral plunger portion and W-shaped spring portion to be slidably received in the housing recess. The plunger has a through hole which is coincident with the housing side through holes with the plunger depressed and the spring compressed for receiving a cord to be locked between the plunger and the housing. Stop elements are formed on the plunger to snap fit into the respective housing through holes.

Abstract: A buckle for securing the free end of a web or band is provided with a cross-member of generally triangular cross-section having rounded corners and slightly curved sides, and being oriented to an upper surface having a sharp angle so that one corner of the cross-member is juxtaposed to the sharp angle. The triangular shape is about an equilateral triangle.

Abstract: A buckle is provided for securing the ends of a web, strap, belt, or the like. A pair of substantially parallel side walls of the buckle are joined by opposite end portions. Each end portion includes an inclining interior surface forming an acute angle with a plane defined by the upper surfaces of the buckle. A pair of parallel cross bars are located between the end portions of the buckle and are connected to each side wall. The cross bars may be substantially oval shaped.
