Abstract: A base assembly removably and adjustably receives a tool and includes a base and a wall extending outwardly from the base. First and second openings are disposed in the wall. First and second cutouts are disposed in the wall to receive the tool. A pivot pin is removably received by the first and second openings. The tool is removably disposed on the pivot pin. A locking ring is disposed on the pivot pin. The locking ring is in a locked position to prevent movement of the pivot pin and in an unlocked position to allow movement of the pivot pin, thereby allowing the tool to be easily moved between positions and securely locked in a desired position.

Abstract: A tensioning device is to be used with a control cord of a blind assembly and includes a hollow casing which confines a vertically extending receiving space and which has an open top end portion and a bottom end provided with a pivot portion. A pivot unit mounts rotatably the pivot portion of the casing on a wall body. A cord engaging unit has a pulley formed with a cord engaging groove for passing over of the control cord, and a base slidably provided in the receiving space and having a front side formed with a pulley receiving recess. The pulley is mounted rotatably to the base in the pulley receiving recess. The base further has a top wall formed with a pair of notches which permit extension of parallel sections of the control cord that passes over the pulley. A cover member is mounted on the open top end portion of the casing, and is formed with a pair of slits that are aligned with the notches in the top wall of the base and that permit extension of the parallel sections of the control cord therethrough.

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.

Abstract: A cord weight pulley assembly for traverse rod installations in which the housing is formed in one piece and includes a first housing section having a lower weight receiving cavity and an upper pulley receiving cavity, a second housing section integrally connected to the first housing section and movable to a closed position overlying the weight receiving cavity, and a third housing section integrally connected to the second housing section and movable to a closed position overlying the pulley receiving cavity.
