1. A breakaway cord connector for releasably connecting cords associated with a window covering, comprising:
a plurality of cords associated with the connector; and three housing members including a first housing member, a second housing member and a third housing member, the housing members each including a curved external sidewall, a top wall extending in a first direction from the curved external sidewall and including a through hole, a base, spaced from the top wall and extending in the first direction from the curved external sidewall, a protrusion extending in the first direction from the curved external sidewall between the top wall and the base and including a first vertical sidewall extending outwardly in a second direction with a first recess formed therein and a second vertical sidewall extending outwardly in a third direction with a second recess formed therein and a first magnet fixed within the first recess and a second magnet fixed within the second recess, one of the first magnet and the second magnet having a positive polarity and the other of the first magnet and the second magnet having a negative polarity, one of the cords extending through the through hole in each of the housing members, connecting a respective one of the cords to a respective one of the housing members; wherein the housing members are configured to be releasably connectable to each other such that the magnets of the housing members are aligned with each other in an assembled state, and whereby when an object becomes entangled among the cords, outward pressure applied on the cords will cause the magnets and in turn the housing members to separate from each other without tangling. |
