Abstract
The invention refers to a pull cord arrangement for a roller blind or a venetian blind, comprising a winding element (4) arranged to be connected to a blind (6) such that the blind (6) is released or wound in response to a rotational movement of the winding element (4) about a rotational axis; a connecting element (28) coupled to the winding element (4) to rotate together with the winding element (4); and a pull cord (50) engaging the connecting element (28) so as to control the rotation of the connecting element (28) and thus the winding element (4) as the pull cord (50) is operated.

Pull cord arrangement for a roller blind or a Venetian blind, comprising
- a winding element arranged to be connected to a blind such that the blind is released or wound in response to a rotational movement of the winding element about a rotational axis,
- a connecting element coupled to the winding element to rotate together with the winding element,
- and a pull cord engaging the connecting element so as to control the rotation of the connecting element and thus the winding element as the pull cord is operated, and
- wherein the ratio between the engagement diameter d of the connecting element at which diameter the pull cord operatively engages the connecting element and the outer diameter D of the winding element is smaller than 2:3, wherein
- the pull cord arrangement further comprises a pull cord actuator formed by a telescopic rod comprising a first rod and a second rod, the second rod being movable in relation to the first rod along a longitudinal extension of the first rod, and wherein the pull cord is connected to the second rod, whereby the pull cord is operated by moving the second rod along the longitudinal extension of the first rod, and in that
- the pull cord in a position along its longitudinal extension comprises a carrier;
- the first rod along its longitudinal extension comprises a slit in which the carrier of the pull cord is movably received;
- and
- the second rod in a surface facing the slit comprises a locking element engaging the carrier, whereby
- the pull cord is operated as the second rod is moved along the first rod.
