What to you call this? Part of draw string bag.

I want to purchase this; but I don't know what to call it. When you have a small draw string bag and you have this small plastic thing that slides along the string. It is string loaded so that when you let go of it, it stays there keeping the bag closed.

It is about 1cm & plastic. The string of the draw string bag is threaded though it. You use it by sliding this thing along to open and close the bag.

I hope I have described this OK... What do you call this? Thanks

    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    It's called a flugelbinder.

    Actually, it's not. That's the plastic bit on the end of a shoelace but it's still a great word :D

    I thought that was fluffnutter's attempt at humour.

    I stand corrected though it was the rich chick who coined the term
