Abstract
A pull cord safety device has a single molded body with two members coupled by an integral hinge. The hinge allows the members to pivot from a closed position to an open position. One member receives a first knotted pull cord in a circular opening so that it is coupled to the member in both the open and closed positions. A second knotted cord is inserted in a recess formed in a rim of one member where it faces the other member. When the members move to the open position, the second cord is released. Multiple cords can be accommodated in the recess.
