Abstract

The ball coupling type lock has a cavity for receiving the ball (8) attached to a connector cord (7). The cavity is formed by two resilient arms (4) and a raised retainer profile (6). A ball attached to a connector cord is received by a cavity in a connector piece. A clamping tab (12) attaches the lock to the main blind cord (10).
