ABSTRACT:
The venetian blind pull cord assembly is a safety device to prevent exposure of the pull cords and inadvertant accidents to children, due to their attraction to pull cords. The assembly includes a) a preferably cylindrical upper housing connectable to an overhead venetian blind operating mechanism or the like and designed to depend therefrom. The assembly includes a preferably cylindrical housing connectable to an overhead venetian blind operating mechanism or the like by connectors and designed to depend therefrom; and b) a generally tubular pull cord cover having two or more vertically aligned telescoping portions of decreasing diameter, the cover telescoping fully into the lower end of the housing and depending therebelow. The cover is dimensioned so that when fully retracted it defines with the housing a pull cord storage space. The housing and cover have vertically aligned passageways down through which pull cords pass. The lower end of the cover includes a transverse pull handle to which the lower end of the pull cords connect. The handle can be frictionally engaged with a cover portion or the housing to decrease the effective length of the assembly.
