I have two good quality pull-cords, these have clear plastic rings on the weight at the bottom to protect them knocking into anything. Over time these have become loose and keep coming off. Any ideas as to how either tighten them or where can I find replacements? the name of the manufacturer is long lost.
We have some kind of arty crafty beads on ours. Cool

Clear silicone sealant? As long as the surfaces are clean it will stick, and it stays flexible so should withstand the knocks.
The rings are presumably stretchable and have stretched permanently. One wonders what size they are. Two possibilities :
(1) Replace with black "O-rings" as used in gas-tight demountable pipe joints; the material may (sometimes?) be Viton.
(2) Apply, with thread, string or cord of well-chosen thickness, a plain whipping or whippings all round each ring - see
Generic O ring to replace the ones that have permanently stretched or have lost some of the their elasticity

there are over 20 pages of 'cord pull weights' on Amazon, many of which will probably be nicer than what the OP already has.
