A cord lock includes a first member having a first passage and a second passage for a cord; a second member combined with the first member to be capable of moving to rise and fall as a support point on the second passage side, and including a third passage positioned between the first passage and the second passage on a free end side of the rising and falling movement, and passing the cord; and an urging device urging the second member in a standing direction. The support point is formed by an engaging portion formed in one of the first member and the second member, and an engaged portion formed in the other, and engaged with the engaging portion, and the cord pulled out of the second passage is positioned on a free end side of the second member more than the support point.

A coupler/stop for mounting relative to a cable is provided. The coupler/stop can be used in combination with an adapter system that facilitates convenient access to one or more adapters, e.g., DVI-D to HDMI adapter(s), Micro-HDMI to HDMI adapter(s), Mini-HDMI to HDMI adapter(s), Mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter(s), DisplayPort to HDMI adapter(s), VGA to HDMI adapter(s), MHL to HDMI adapter(s), and/or USB to HDMI adapter(s). The coupler/stop includes a pair of mating portions and a pair of inserts of selected diameter. A pair of mounting screws can be used for securing the mating portions to each other with the pair of inserts positioned therewithin.

Steel wire rope adjuster terminal consisting of a piece of equipment designed to be assembled on a steel wire rope in order to form one of the two fastening ends thereof by means of a system for adjusting the length of the steel wire rope and then locking it, which is based on a fixed component comprising an internal box in which a cam can rotate until it forms a channel by means of respective grooves wherein the steel wire rope can slide if it is not bearing a load, and in which the cam is activated and trapped against the fixed component when the wire rope is bearing a load, so that the system does not damage the wire rope in any way and it can be unlocked in a completely reversible way.

A joining assembly (12) comprises two joining devices (10). Each joining device (10) comprises a securing arrangement (46) for securing at least one article (14) to the joining devices (10). One of the joining devices (10) comprises a first attaching arrangement (30, 32), and the other of the joining devices (10) comprises a second attaching arrangement (30, 32). The first and second attaching arrangements can cooperate with each other to attach the joining devices (10) to each other.

A wire terminator device for fences and barriers which has two bodies. The first body houses a wire retaining mechanism and the second body stems from the first body and includes an engagement element where the wire is retained in the usage position. The engagement element forming the second body is defined by a through passage in the direction of passage of the wire and a single inlet groove that is oblique with respect to the direction of passage of the wire. The single inlet groove is arranged in the same plane of the direction of passage of the wire in the usage position.

A hose connector is disclosed that provides a magnetized connection of hoses, tubes, cables, ducts, pipes, chains, straps, wires, twine, cord and/or rope creating a continuation in length for versatile and extended flow for, but not limited to, watering needs eliminating conventional connector threads currently requiring multiple turns to release or attach or existing pronged coupling requiring a degree of hand agility and strength. Thereby the disclosed matter provides the means for a fast, single motion attachment or twisting detachment of, but not limited to hose, tube, cable, duct, pipe, chain, strap, wire, twine, cord and/or rope ends without requiring the hand strength or precision that some conventional hose, tube, cable, duct, twine, cord, and/or rope connectors may require. There may be any combination of connecting the ends of hoses, tubes, cables, ducts, pipes, chains, straps, wires, twines, cords, and/or ropes. In some scenarios, flow is not required.
