Bias activated safety blind control

A blind having a blind operating mechanism and an endless loop blind control element for operating the blind operating mechanism, comprising:

• (a) an enclosure defined by two spaced outer walls connected by first and second spaced side walls extending from a first end to a second end, a first and second channel extending outwardly said first and second side walls respectively and extending from said first end to said second end, wherein the endless loop blind control element is retained within the first and second channels between the first end to the second end of said enclosure when in a first position;
• (b) a connector supporting the first end of said enclosure adjacent to the blind operating mechanism and depending downwardly from the blind operating mechanism;
• (c) a first housing and a second housing disposed at the first end and the second end, respectively of said enclosure to receive a portion of said endless loop blind control element;
• (d) biasing means disposed between the first end and the second end to tension said endless loop blind control element in said first and second channels in said first position;
• (e) one of said first housing or said second housing moveable relative said one of the said first end or second end of said enclosure to compress said biasing means and release said endless loop blind control element from tension in said first and second channels respectively, to manipulate said endless loop blind control element in a second position.
