Abstract
A safety cord connector for a window blind includes a first half shell and a second half shell combined with the first half shell in such a way that a positioning protrusion extending from an inner surface of the second half shell is inserted into a positioning notch formed on an inner surface of the first half shell so as hold the first and second half shells together. When an external force exceeding the engaging force between the positioning protrusion and the positioning notch exerts between the first and second half shells, the positioning protrusion will separate away from the positioning notch to enable the combined first and second half shells to be split from each other so as to enhance safety in use.
Claims7
A safety cord connector for a window blind, comprising:
- a first half shell having a top with a cord hole, a bottom with a first coupling portion, and an inner surface on which at least one positioning notch is provided, and
- a second half shell having an inner periphery contacted with an inner periphery of the first half shell, a top with a cord hole, a bottom with a second coupling portion detachably coupled with the first coupling portion, and an inner surface from which at least one positioning protrusion that is inserted into the at least one positioning notch extends;
- wherein the first coupling portion of the first half shell comprises an elongated through hole and the second coupling portion of the second half shell comprises a block having a triangular cross-section and engaged in the elongated through hole.
A safety cord connector for a window blind, comprising:
- a first half shell having a top with a cord hole, a bottom with a first coupling portion, and an inner surface on which at least one positioning notch is provided,
- a second half shell having an inner periphery contacted with an inner periphery of the first half shell, a top with a cord hole, a bottom with a second coupling portion detachably coupled with the first coupling portion, and an inner surface from which at least one positioning protrusion that is inserted into the at least one positioning notch extends;
- and
- a cord hole defined between the tops of the first and second half shells and communicated with the cord holes of the tops of the first and second half shells through a through hole defined between the tops of the first and second half shells;
- wherein a cord engaging portion is defined between each of the cord holes and the through hole and has a width smaller than a diameter of a cord to be used in the window blind.
