Abstract (en)
An automatically activated cord lock (103, 203, 303, 403), especially for a window covering, particularly a pleated blind (101, 201, 301, 401), which is easier to assemble and operate and is less expensive and which includes a housing (133, 233, 333, 433) adapted to be fitted to a longitudinally-extending head rail (105, 205, 305, 405) of the window covering, the housing having parallel first and second walls (155, 255, 355, 455,157, 257, 357, 457) and a locking surface (161, 261, 361, 461) extending between the first and second walls; a locking lever (127, 227, 327, 427), within the housing, having a cord-gripping formation (145, 245, 345, 445) on one end, adjacent the locking surface (161, 261, 361, 461), and a cord-guiding passage (126, 226, 326, 426) at an opposite end, remote from the locking surface; the locking lever being pivoted about a pivot pin (129, 229, 329, 429) that is located between the cord-gripping formation (145, 245, 345, 445) and the cord-guiding passage (126, 226, 326, 426) and extends between the first and second walls of the housing, so that the cord-gripping formation can move towards and away from engagement with the locking surface with pivoting movement of the locking lever about the pivot pin; and a fixed guiding surface (149, 249, 349, 449) located between the ends of the locking lever (127, 227, 327, 427). <IMAGE>
