ABSTRACT:
A venetian blind assembly is characterized by a unitary major pull cord for raising and lowering a bottom rail, the major cord extending from a head of the assembly to expose a first end by which a user may operate the major cord, the major cord being connected at a second end thereof to a minor cord at a connection point, which minor cord is connected to a bottom rail of the assembly, whereby a raising or lowering of the major cord in turn pulls the minor cord to thereby lower or raise the bottom rail, the connection point of the major and minor cords being located such that when the major cord is pulled toward a fully exposed position, the connection point is located either external of the head but in close proximity thereto or is located within the head. In a preferred embodiment, the minor cord is slidingly and threadingly connected to the major cord adjacent the second end thereof to form a loop of the minor cord having two free strands, which free strands are fixed to the bottom rail, whereby the free strands are moveable inversely in relation to each other by way of a sliding of the minor cord loop with respect to the major cord at the connection point to thereby effect an automatic leveling of the bottom rail.
