An anchor device is provided to engage a segment of a cord. The anchor device has a main body portion and a pair of opposed jaw portions that extend from the body in spaced-apart relationship to one another thereby to form a cavity with a rear wall. A retainer is disposed on the inner surface of each jaw portion with the retainers being separated by a longitudinal passageway. Each retainer has a surface spaced from the other jaw portion and rear portion located forwardly of the rear wall of the cavity. The rear portions form a transverse locking channel for releasably capturing a transverse extension of the cord. The retainers can be static structures or rotatable pulley elements.

[ I claim:] [1.]1. An anchor device adapted to engage a cord segment, comprising:(a) a body portion;(b) first and second jaw portions extending forwardly of said body portion in a forward direction and including a front edge and a pair of side edges, said first and second jaw portions being in spaced-apart relationship to one another thereby to define a cavity between respective inner surfaces thereof with the cavity having a rear wall, a forwardly disposed mouth and a pair of side openings extending between the mouth and the rear wall, each of said jaw portions including a retainer disposed on its inner surface with said retainer on each one of said jaw portions having a base secured to its respective jaw portion and a slide surface that is opposite the base that terminates in spaced relation to the inner surface of another of said jaw portions, said first and second retainers of the respective jaw positions being oriented laterally with respect to one another thereby to define a longitudinal passageway extending therebetween, said first and second retainers each having rear portions located forwardly of said rear wall which together form a transverse locking channel extending along said rear wall, said locking channel being sized to releasably capture a transverse extension of said cord segment therein.
