Abstract
A cord stopper is used for releasably fastening a cord thereto. The cord stopper has a housing having a longitudinal cavity extending longitudinally therein and a pair of through apertures formed transversely through the peripheral wall at opposed positions. An insert member is fitted in the cavity so as to be reciprocally movable along the cavity and having a through hole transversely therethrough. A biasing member is provided for normally urging the insert member outward of the cavity so that when the insert member is thrust into the cavity against the bias of the biasing member, the through hole comes substantially into alignment with the through apertures for insertion of the cord therethrough. The cord stopper further includes means for temporally locking the insert member to the housing with the through hole of the insert member substantially aligned with the through apertures of the housing for facilitating a cord-threading operation.
