Abstract

A string stopper includes a fixing hole formed at an end, and a guide hole formed at one side of the fixing hole. A string is inserted into the fixing hole so that a fixed end of the string is fixed to the fixing hole, and a free end of the string is inserted into an entrance of the guide hole and is drawn out of an exit of the guide hole. The guide hole has a first narrow groove and a second narrow groove which are respectively formed at the inside of the entrance and at the outside of the exit of the guide hole.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A string stopper comprising:
a fixing hole formed at an end; and
a guide hole formed at one side of the fixing hole,
wherein a string is inserted into the fixing hole so that a fixed end of the string is fixed to the fixing hole, and a free end of the string is inserted into an entrance of the guide hole and is drawn out of an exit of the guide hole, and
wherein the guide hole has a first narrow groove and a second narrow groove which are respectively formed at the inside of the entrance and at the outside of the exit of the guide hole,
wherein the fixing hole and the guide hole are formed side by side in the same direction, and the string is inserted into the fixing hole and the guide hole in the same direction.

2. The string stopper according to claim 1 , wherein the guide hole is longer than the fixing hole.

3. The string stopper according to claim 1 , wherein a seating recess is formed at an entrance of the fixing hole into which the string is inserted, and is larger than a diameter of the fixing hole so that a knot formed at the fixed end of the string is seated on the seating recess.

4. The string stopper according to claim 1 , wherein the first narrow groove and the second narrow groove are V-shaped grooves.

5. The string stopper according to claim 1 , wherein the fixing hole has a support groove formed at an outer face of an exit of the fixing hole.

6. The string stopper according to claim 1 , wherein the stopper has a first point located at an outer face of an exit of the fixing hole, a second point located at a position where the first narrow groove of the guide hole is formed, and a third point located at a position where the second narrow groove of the guide hole is formed, and the first to third points are parts pressed by the curve of the string and form a triangle.

7. The string stopper according to claim 1 , wherein a slope part is formed from the entrance of the guide hole to an entrance of the fixing hole.

8. A string stopper comprising:
a fixing hole formed at an end; and
a guide hole formed at one side of the fixing hole,
wherein a string is inserted into the fixing hole so that a fixed end of the string is fixed to the fixing hole, and a free end of the string is inserted into an entrance of the guide hole and is drawn out of an exit of the guide hole, and
wherein the guide hole has a first narrow groove and a second narrow groove which are respectively formed at the inside of the entrance and at the outside of the exit of the guide hole,
wherein a slope part is formed from the entrance of the guide hole to the entrance of the fixing hole,
wherein the slope part has edge portions formed at both outer lateral sides of the stopper to protrude along borders of the outer lateral sides, so that a user can easily manipulate the string with the fingers.
