A cord lock comprising an outer telescoping member having at least two side walls and a bottom wall, defining an interior cavity, and an inner telescoping member slidable within the cavity of the outer telescoping member. Both the inner and outer telescoping members have apertures extending through their side walls. The inner and outer telescoping members are biased against each other by biasing means such as a spring, so that the apertures are not aligned and are able to pinch a cord threaded through the apertures. There is at least one leg attached to the inner telescoping member and extending into the interior cavity of the outer telescoping member. The leg has a T-shaped free end. There is at least one flexible leg retaining means located within the outer telescoping member, which is adapted to lock the inner telescoping member into first and second locking positions. In the first locking position, the apertures on the inner and outer telescoping members are aligned for feeding a cord therethrough. In the second locking position, the apertures are not aligned to pinch the cord.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A loadable cord lock comprising:an outer telescoping member having at least two side walls and a bottom wall, defining an interior cavity, and an aperture extending through said two side walls;an inner telescoping member slidable within the cavity of said outer telescoping member and having an aperture extending therethrough;means for biasing said inner and outer members so that said apertures are not aligned, to pinch a cord threaded through said apertures;at least one leg attached to the inner telescoping member and extending into the interior cavity of the outer telescoping member, said leg having a T-shaped free end and being biased away from the center of the cord lock;at least one leg retaining means located within the outer telescoping member, such that pressing the inner telescoping member into the outer telescoping member causes the leg retaining means to lock the inner telescoping member in a first locking position where the apertures on the inner and outer telescoping members are aligned for feeding a cord therethrough, and further pressure on the inner telescoping member causes the inner telescoping member to lock in a second locking position, where the apertures are not aligned, to pinch the cord.
