Abstract:
A cord lock device is provided, which includes a body having first and second faces, with a cord passage extending through the body between the first and second faces. First and second grip channels are formed in the first face and have respective first ends adjacent to the cord passage and second ends extending away from the cord passage. Each of the grip channels has a pair of grip teeth facing each other on opposite sides of the respective grip channel, ridges of the pairs of grip teeth extending from the first face toward the second face at an angle such that at the first face, the ridges are furthest from the cord passage, while at a point closest to the second face, the ridges are closest to the cord passage.

Claim (Index 15):
A method, comprising:\n grasping first and second elastic cords that extend through a cord passage of a cord lock device; applying tension to the first and second elastic cords; while maintaining the applied tension, applying rotational force to the cord lock device such that the tensioned first and second cords lie in first and second grip channels of the cord lock device; locking the first and second cords within the first and second grip channels, respectively, by releasing the tension applied to the first and second cords while maintaining the rotational force such that a diameter of the first and second cords swells to exceed a minimum channel dimension of the first and second grip channels.
