Abstract
An apparatus for adjusting a tilt angle of a plurality of slats in a window blind is disclosed. The window blind includes a headrail having disposed therein a shaft that causes the tilt angle of the slats to be adjusted when the shaft is rotated. The apparatus comprises a first bevel gear, a second bevel gear in mechanical communication with the first bevel gear and coupled with the shaft, and a motor coupled to the shaft. Actuation of the first bevel gear causes a corresponding rotation of the shaft to adjust the tilt angle of the slats, and actuation by the motor causes a rotation of the shaft to adjust the tilt angle of the slats.
