In one embodiment, a wheel like assembly is used to hold the cord from the outside and has a stopper which can be held by a detent means in a desire one side position and another stopper which can be held by another detent means; in a desired position on the other side so that the cord can be held one one side or the other, and wherein the one stopper can be readily moved out from the one detent means and the other stopper moved to the other detent means by simply moving the cord from one side to the other. The wheel like assembly has walls that suitably align the assembly within a holder arrangement.
