Abstract
An improved cord lock for a window shade is described. The cord lock comprises a molded body member in which are formed first and second cord bearing surfaces and a locking dog support. The cord bearing surfaces are shaped to direct the cords laterally outwardly of the shade member and so that the cords tend to avoid becoming tangled. The locking dogs are arranged such that the cord is secured automatically upon release, thus providing 'crash-proof' operation. A shroud formed of a different material than the molded body member encloses its periphery. This provides a particularly attractive appearance for the completed unit.
