Abstract

An improved Venetian blind type window covering having an open position and a closed position is provided. When in a closed position, the window covering presents a face that conceals a securement member and an adjustment member. The window covering also includes a bottom rail, and a plurality of slats between the head rail and the bottom rail. The securement member and the adjustment member, in cooperation, are suitable for adjustably moving or tilting the plurality of blind slats to open and close the window covering. A blind slat tilting mechanism causes positional adjustment of the plurality of blind slats by raising and lowering at least the adjusting member.

Claims (6)

1 . A Venetian blind type window covering having a closed position, an open position, and a face, and comprising:

a head rail having a blind slat tilting mechanism for raising and lowering at least an adjustment member,

a securement member operatively connecting the head rail and a bottom rail;

a plurality of slats between the head rail and the bottom rail, each of the slats including a distal edge portion and restrainedly positioned along the securement member and the adjustment member at a row interval, wherein each of the plurality of slats is pivotally biased towards the distal edge portion;

the distal edge portion for each of the slats being longer than the row interval such that when the window covering is in the closed position, the securement member and the adjustment member are concealed from the face by a distal edge portion of an adjacent slat; and

the blind slat tilting mechanism causing positional adjustment of the plurality of blind slats by raising and lowering the adjusting member independent of the securement member.
