Abstract

See full text

A drawstring recovery and restringing device that includes a leading edge, a flexible cylindrical mid-portion and a grab scoop member. The device may be used in various methods of restringing drawstrings through articles having a drawstring channel, including securing a drawstring end within the device's grab scoop member, inserting the leading edge of the device into a drawstring channel of an article, pushing the device through the drawstring channel until the leading edge protrudes from the other end of the drawstring channel and pulling the leading edge of the device until the entire device exits the drawstring channel. The device may also be used to recover a drawstring that is fully enclosed in a drawstring channel, by feeding the grab scoop member of the device into the drawstring channel, placing the drawstring within the grab scoop member, and pulling the leading edge of the device through the drawstring channel.
