ABSTRACT:
A locking device for cords to hold a pleated shade or a venetian blind at a selected elevation comprises a U-shaped channel member and a housing covering one end of the channel member. A cradle integral with the channel member supports an axle on which congruent U-shaped cord-locking members are pivoted. The inner cord-locking member has a slotted bottom portion through which the cord extends to be gripped by the outer cord-locking member when the cord is pulled in one direction by the shade or blind, the cord-locking members releasing the cord in response to reverse tension. The cord is threaded through an opening in the bottom of the channel member and through the cord-locking members before assembly of the channel member and the housing together. The channel member and the housing have interlocking means to hold them attached to each other after assembly.
