1. A slip grip cord adjustment device, comprising:

  • a first body;

    a second body;

    a tapered channel in at least one of the first body or the second body, the tapered channel being adapted to receive an anchored cord and a sliding cord;

    means for anchoring one end of the anchored cord to one of the first body or the second body;

    a first compression member on the first body;

    a second compression member on second body, the first compression member and the second compression member being adapted to cooperatively exert a compressive force upon the anchored cord;

    first engagement means on the first body;

    second engagement means on the second body, the second engagement means being adapted to engage the first engagement means to hold the first body and the second body together and cause the first compression member and the second compression member to exert a compressive force upon the anchored cord positioned in the tapered channel, thereby causing the anchored cord to spread outwardly and exert an interference force upon the sliding cord to resist sliding movement of the sliding cord until a predetermined force threshold is reached.
