Abstract: An end tassel and a separator for blind cords, each of which releasably secures one of the multitude cords in position. The end tassel receives the cord through an opening in which the cord is secured. One such cord, however, on the end tassel is permanently secured in the event the other cords are loosened. If a child or pet should swallow the end tassel, because the one cord is permanently secured, the end tassel can be pulled from the mouth of the child. The separator similarly has openings for multiple cords which permit them to pass upwardly and downwardly. One such opening, however, is securely anchored to the cord to provide for alignment as well as release and loss or being swallowed. In an alternative embodiment, a single cord is permanently secured through a hole in the underside tassel and knotted or otherwise secured in place. The tassel may be of various sizes and so may be the cords.

Abstract: A drapery weight in which a body portion and cover are snap fittingly engaged each to the other is disclosed. An open space is provided interiorly to receive whatever weights the factory or installer preselects for the given installation. Thereafter, provision is made for a wheel or circular member at the upper inner portion of the body around which the installer can readily engage the closed loop of the draw cord because the body is not totally closed. Finally, a snap-fittingly engaged cover is placed over the wheel or round portion and mates with one of the body sections to close the drapery weight as a unitary member. Snap fitting engagement is provided between the two body shells, and the cover for the rounded member, in the form of a plurality of interacting prongs between the two body shells, and a displaceable engagement for the wheel cover. Optionally a wheel is mounted on the central hub. Otherwise the hub itself is sufficient to hang the weight on the closed loop of the drapery draw cord.
