ABSTRACT:
A cord retractor is provided to take up the dangling cords of a window blind. The retractor comprises a sliding cord engagement member housed within a hollow wand. The wand has an axial slot extending the length of its sidewall. A handle outside the wand is linked to the engagement member by an arm connecting the respective members and extending through the slot. A cord fastening means fixedly engages an end of the window blind cord to the wand. The sliding engagement member retracts a loop of cord into the interior of the wand when the handle is displaced downwardly along the wand to retract the cord into the wand. The wand may be removably engaged to the head rail of a window blind when not in use by means of a hook.
