Abstract: A cover for a chain or cord is provided, that is used to manually operate a window treatment. The cover includes a plurality of chain guide segments, each segment comprising a pair of rigid tubular members to permit passage of the chain or cord therethrough during operation of the window treatment. A total length of the plurality of segments is less than each vertical run of the chain or cord to permit separation of adjacent ones of the segments to expose a portion of the chain or cord to manually operate the window treatment. A chain separator to be coupled to a lowermost one of the segments is also provided.
