A cord lock for cords with a snap part. The cord lock device has a movable top part that forms a button that is pressed to release tension on a cord. When the button is released, the cord is held. The button has a pressing surface which is pressed to bring cord passing surfaces on first and second parts into communication with one another, to release tension on the cord passing through the cord passing surfaces. The pressing surface has a socket for a snap on device, which can be a decorative or useful snap in device.

A cord-lock assembly for slidably adjusting a length of cord is provided. The assembly may include various components such as a cord, a cord lock, and an article layer into which the cord lock and cord may be at least partially integrated. The cord lock may include one or more components that releasably clamp onto the cord and engage the cord through resistance provided by a biasing element. The cord-lock assembly may be configured such that a force applied to the cord lock in axial alignment with an aperture in which the cord lock is positioned allows adjustment of a length of cord extending through the cord lock and/or through the aperture layer.

A buckle with a string adjustment portion includes a plug and a socket. The plug includes: a tightening string member attachment portion configured to slidably lock a string member and adjust a length of the string member; and leg portions which are inserted into and engaged with the socket. The socket includes a fitting portion including an insertion opening. An insertion hole through which the string member is inserted is formed to penetrate the tightening string member attachment portion, and a portion connecting the leg portions side of the insertion hole serves as a second bar. The second bar is located on an insertion direction side of the leg portions with respect to a position where an end portion of the plug and the insertion opening of the socket are abutted against each other, in a state where the leg portions are engaged with the socket.

A directional lock or a headgear or interface assembly comprising one or more directional locks that include a catch arrangement for initiating or assisting in movement of a lock member of the direction lock. In some configurations, the catch arrangement assists movement of the lock member in only a portion of a range of travel of the lock member. In some configurations, the directional lock comprises a housing and a sleeve and the catch arrangement comprises a catch arm carried by the sleeve. The catch arm includes a catch end that contacts the lock member, which can be a lock washer in some configurations.

A cord lock for adjusting the length of a cord includes a main body with a through hole, in which a cord can be inserted. A friction member is blocked in the main body in such a manner that a portion of a tooth thereof narrows the gap of the through-hole in order to limit the sliding of the cord.

A device for holding a cord includes a first cord holding area shaped to receive a cord. The device further includes a hook portion interconnected with the first cord holding area, the hook portion curving from a first end of the first cord holding area, around a side of the first cord holding area to a second end of the first cord holding area, opposite the first end.

A connector locking wire operation mechanism capable of buffering an impact on a push rod includes a body provided with a push rod rotatable along an arcuate track and a cam rotatable about a circular hole. A sector notch capable of accommodating the cam and leaving sufficient space is provided at an inner side of the push rod. The push rod and the cam are cooperatively rotatable about a common rotation axis. Both sides of the cam are in contact with the push rod and a spring plate respectively.

A round or rectangular clip assembly that utilizes torsion tension spring loops, formed from the flexible material. The clip forms a tongue segment on one side of the torsion tension spring loops, and multiple extension members on the second side. The spring loop is configured to pushes the tongue segment toward the substantially parallel surface formed on each extension member, and can hold a light bulb or a light socket inbetween. The clip also includes additional torsion three-quarter rounded tension spring loop, which can be rounded for holding a wire or an extension cord, or rectangular, for attaching to a rectangular fixture.

A compliant hanger assembly is disclosed for installation onto a strut channel. With the installation of the compliant hanger assembly, the simple and effective use of a metal ball locking cable tie is made available to attach components (e.g., cables) onto the strut.
