 I don't know what they're called, but have seen them on hanging cards at stores like the dearly departed Orchard Supply Hardware. I'll bet ACE has them. I'm pretty sure I have a couple lying around in junk bowls or drawers.
What you need to determine is whether the fixture/lamp uses a switch like this, which employs the part you want:
Or a whole socket that integrates the fitting for the chain:

string sockets and snakes
When my younger son was about four, he collected pull chains and pretended they were pet snakes. Although I was usually a diligent pocket checker, one of his "snakes" slipped past me, wrapped itself around the transmission of my favorite Whirlpool washer ever and killed it dead. (and my husband is/was very experienced in maintaining our Whirlpool washers--for a long time, we had a "Franken-Whirl-More" comprised of parts from our 2005 Whirlpool and my grandmother's Kenmore from the 70s or 80s)

I think it might be called a knurled nut or finial. Here's one. I'm not advocating this site, this is just an example I found on Google. CLICK HERE TO GO TO fan-of-fans's LINK | ||
