Abstract
A cord winder device that may be used to shorten the length of a pull cord that hangs from a window covering, such that it can adjust the exposed length of window blinds. The cord winder device includes a spindle and sides that overlap the spindle. A cord hanging from the window covering may be wound around the spindle so that the length of the cord is reduced. Reducing the height of the cord may keep the cord out of reach of children and prevent injury. The sides of the spindle may have slots to secure the cord to the cord winder device after it is wound around the spindle.
