Abstract: In various embodiments, a lift cord safety coupling is provided. In such embodiments, the lift cord safety coupling includes a first connector having a lift cord aperture structured to have a lift cord of a shade extended therethrough, and a second connector connectable to an intermediate portion of the shade and magnetically connectable to the first connector. The first and second connectors are magnetically connectable with an amount of attractive force such that when a longitudinal and/or lateral force below a predetermined threshold force is applied to either of the first or second connectors, the first and second connectors will remain connected. However, when a longitudinal and/or lateral force greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold force is applied to either of the first or second connectors, the first and second connectors will decouple disconnecting the lift cord from the shade intermediate portion.

Abstract: The present teachings relate to window covering systems, and more particularly to systems and methods for providing a window covering with a plurality of safety lift cord assemblies structured and operable to be severable upon application of a longitudinal force greater than predetermined threshold force.

Abstract: In various embodiments a retrofittable bottom safety coupling for a lift cord of a window covering system is provided. In such embodiments, the safety coupling includes a first connector removably connectable to a lower end of a shade lift cord, and a second connector removably connectable to a lift cord bottom attachment device. The first and second connectors magnetically connectable with an amount of attractive force such that when a longitudinal force below a predetermined threshold force is applied to either of the first or second connectors, the first and second connectors will remain connected. However, when a longitudinal force greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold force is applied to either of the first or second connectors, the first and second connectors will decouple severing the lift cord.
