A safety retainer for use in curtain controlling ropes comprises first and second housings which engage with each other, wherein the first and second housings include four holes formed on the tops thereof, and two of the holes are formed by combining two semicircle-shaped holes together, between the first and second housings are respectively disposed protrusions and recesses corresponding to each other, on the combined bottom surface of the first and second housings is arranged a bore, such that the two or more controlling ropes are individually inserted into the holes and extended out of the bore for being limited, and a groove is annularly formed on the combined side periphery of the first and second housings for receiving a loop, thereby allowing the controlling ropes to be retained in the groove by the loop, and causing the first and second housings disengagement from each other because an external weight concentrate onto the safety retainer.
Un dispositif de sécurité pour utilisation dans des cordons de commande de rideau comprend un premier et un deuxième boîtiers qui viennent en prise l'un avec l'autre et qui comprennent quatre trous formés sur les sommets de ceux-ci, deux desquels sont formés par combinaison de deux trous en forme de demi-cercle, entre les premier et deuxième boîtiers respectivement qui sont pourvus de bosses et de creux correspondant à l'autre; on trouve sur la surface inférieure combinée des premier et deuxième boîtiers un alésage, de sorte que les deux ou plusieurs cordons de commande soient insérés individuellement dans les trous et s'étendent hors de l'alésage pour être limités, et une rainure est formée de manière annulaire sur la périphérie latérale combinée des premier et deuxième boîtiers pour recevoir une boucle, permettant ainsi la commande des cordons à être retenus dans la rainure par la boucle, et amener les premier et deuxième boîtiers à se désengager à cause d'un concentré de poids externe sur le dispositif de retenue sécuritaire.
