Abstract
A venetian blind with a very low head channel and narrow slats, having a lift cord lock, a tilter, and cradles, all of which can simply be snapped in place in the head channel. The cord lock has an integral, one-piece sheet metal housing. The tilter has a plastic housing open at the top through which the gear and worm shaft can be introduced before being closed with a cover. The blind has drums forming plastic sleeves split to fit over the tilt rod and with slits for receiving barbed end portions of ladders for suspending the slats. The lower ends of the ladders and of the lift cord are fastened to the bottom rail of the blind by button-like plastic caps.
