the window coverings not seen are at their lowest position and also significantly high when the window coverings not seen are at their highest or raised position so that the window covering cord collection and coordination device 21 is kept completely away from the floor but this is not always possible window coverings in the home are of shorter length and may be located closer to the floor as a result any cross connection device will be located closer to the floor closeness of cross connection of the upper controlled lines 31 33 35 and 37 to the floor increases the chance that children pets and objects may be inadvertently caught on the cross connection device and pulled if caught on an adult the window covering not shown could be pulled down a child or a pet could become entangled and result in entanglement choking or circulation damage it is when the window coverings are raised that the cross connect for the upper controlled lines 31 33 35 and 37 would normally be the lowest to the floor the window covering cord collection and coordination device 21 is long enough that any force which causes separation of the upper controlled lines 31 33 35 and 37 and downward force on the window covering cord collection and coordination device 21 will put a directed force against the opposite ends of the upper slot 29 regardless of which of the three available paths between the upper controlled lines 31 33 35 and 37 the object and its downward force travels along a separation 45 is seen between the first housing section 23 and second housing section.
