Drawstring retainer
Latest CLOVER MFG. CO., LTD. Patents:
A drawstring retainer is a tool that is used in combination with a drawstring threader for conveniently introducing a string, such as a rubber string, into a string-holding tunnel portion of a clothing. The drawstring retainer retains one end of the string while the drawstring threader retains the other end of the string in inserting the string into the string-holding tunnel of the clothing. The drawstring retainer includes two clamping tabs that are hinged to each other to pivot between a closed string retaining position and an open release position.
Claims
We claim the ornamental design for a drawstring retainer, as shown and described.
