Abstract
There is disclosed an end piece for the bottom rail of a venetian blind which end piece is engaged by a flexible lifting member for the blind and a flexible tilting member both of which are positioned within the side housing of the blind. The flexible tilting member engages the end piece in sliding relationship such that movement of the flexible tilting member does not result in tilting of the bottom rail. Further, a portion of the end piece of the bottom rail is engaged for vertical movement in a slot in the housing in such a manner as to further insure against tilting of the bottom rail while permitting vertical adjustment thereof. The arrangements for engaging the lifting tape of the lifting member and the flexible tilting member with the end piece are such as to provide for very ready assembly while insuring against accidental disconnection.
