Connectable Drawstrings With Insertion Tool

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.

Claims

1. An interchangeable drawstring system providing for the continuous exchange of the drawstrings in said threading tunnel through the use of dual aglets male and female providing continuous ability to easily replace damaged or missing drawstrings and personalize the fashion the garment look, color design.

2. The drawstring system of claim 1, in which the continuous exchange of the drawstrings is facilitated by a threading device that is included with initial purchase of drawstrings. The threading device attaches to any of the aglets and is easily removed for future use.

3. The drawstring system of claim 1, in which the threading device functions as a replacement tool by design facilitating the easy rethreading of the drawstring.
