Mini blind
A mini blind is a type of horizontal window blind made of long, narrow slats held together by string. Its slats are less than half the width of a regular venetian blind, and are often made of aluminium, measuring or . The slats are opened and closed by rotating a rod or by directly pulling a string, and they are raised and lowered by pulling other strings.
In the United Kingdom the term "venetian blind" also covers mini blinds.

The long horizontal ''slats'' are held one above the other by the rungs of ''ladder cords'' shaped like a ladder. The lower ends of the ''legs'' of the ladder cords are secured to the long ''rail'' under the slats. Their upper ends are attached to the ''drive rod'' in the ''housing'', the elongated box above the slats. As the drive rod rotates, one leg of each ladder cord moves up while the other moves down, causing the angle of the slats to change. In one design, this rotation is achieved by pushing up or pulling down on a long handle called a ''tilt wand'' connected to the drive rod by a lever. ''Lift cords'' along the ladder cords are also attached to the rail. They pass through holes in the slats and into the housing above, where they go over pulleys, combine and exit through the ''cord lock''. For safety it's important that the lock always works. A downward pull on the main lift cord raises the slats by the cords pulling up the rail below the slats. The cord lock holds the main lift cord to keep the slats up until the cord is pulled to release the lock. The ''safety lock'' made the cord lock easier to use.〔Fischer, Jerry F., (Consumer-adjustable mini-blind ) (retrieved 30 August 2007 from Google Patents)〕
