Patent attributes
A free hanging safety bead chain tension device includes a clutch, a bead chain for controlling ascending/descending of a roller shade, a tension rod and more than one restriction seats. The bead chain is connected with the tension rod and the restriction seats are disposed on the rod body of the tension rod. Each restriction seat has one or more restriction tunnels for locating the bead chain adjacent to the tension rod. When pulling the bead chain to control the ascending/descending of the roller shade, the bead chain is positioned by the tension rod and the restriction seats. Accordingly, not only the bead chain can be still smoothly pulled, but also the bead chain is prevented from being pulled out by a space sufficient to twist around a neck. Therefore, a child is prevented from pulling the bead chain to twist the bead chain around the child's neck so that a safety effect is achieved.
