Abstract:
A cleat device for adjustably securing two segments of a cord in locked engagement includes a body and an integral head having an open mouth communicating with a through passage and left and right cord channels extending from the through passage to slots at a back end of the body. The cord segments pass through the open mouth and out from an open top of the body. The cord segments are pulled down into the channels and slots to lock them in the cleat. The channels include ribbed sidewalls that progressively narrow near a bottom of the channels to wedge the cord segments in the locked position. The cord segments can be pulled out through the slots and out of the back end of the cleat when in the locked position, but cannot be pulled out in the opposite direction from the mouth when locked in the channels.

Claim (Index 7):
The cleat device as recited in  claim 6  wherein the looped portion of the cord is fitted through a sleeve surrounding an opening of a bag, whereupon closing the loop by pulling the two cord segments through the pair of parallel cord channels of the cleat device causes the opening of the bag to be cinched closed.
