A window covering cord safety assembly (10) which includes at least one window covering control cord (12) having free lower ends (14) which bear eyelets (16). A safety device (18), which is releasably connected to the free ends (14) of the cords (12), includes a housing (20) with closed upper and bottom ends (22, 24) interconnected by sidewalls (26) and defining a generally central space (28). The space incorporates a cord retainer (38) which includes external pockets (44) in its lower portion (42). The free ends (14) of the cords (12) and eyelets (16) pass through openings (33) in the housing (20) into the pockets (44). The cords remain therein until the retainer's (38) lower portion (42) moves up into the upper portion (30) of the space (28) to release them from the retainer pockets (44). A spring (50) is mounted between the retainer top and the top of the housing (20) to bias the retainer downward. Separation of the control cords (12) from the housing (20) prevents a child from being entangled in the control cords loops. |
