         9 . The releasable clip for a shade according to  claim 6 , wherein the retainment member forms a portion of a ring and is at least partially ring shaped. 
     
     
         10 . The releasable clip for a shade according to  claim 9 , wherein at least a portion of an internal surface of the retainment member forms a groove. 
     
     
         11 . The releasable clip for a shade according to  claim 9 , wherein the retainment member is formed of a flexible material to facilitate receiving the ring. 
     
     
         12 . The releasable clip for a shade according to  claim 9 , wherein the retainment member terminates with opposing ends, the opposing ends being separated by a distance that is less than a diameter of the retainment member. 
     
     
         13 . A releasable clip for a shade, comprising:
 a first retainment member operable for coupling to an attachment means of the shade; and   a second retainment member coupled to the first retainment member, said second retainment member is configured to receive a ring which a lift cord can be strung through;   wherein the second retainment member is structured to releasably secure the ring and release the ring upon the application of a predetermined amount of force.   
     
     
         14 . The releasable clip according to  claim 13 , where the first retainment member is structured to releasably secure the attachment means of the shade and release the attachment means upon the application of a predetermined amount of force. 
     
     
         15 . The releasable clip according to  claim 13 , wherein the second retainment member forms a portion of a ring and is at least partially ring shaped.
