The locking roller can be forced along the cross arm of the H onto the other arm, for use at the opposite end of the blind. A resilient wire separator for separating the lift cord from one another may be located on upstanding tabs provided with recesses on a curved edge surface, one of the recesses acting as a pivot point and the other as a locking recess.
