ABSTRACT:
A unitary, one-piece vane carrier for vertical blinds is disclosed. The unitary carrier includes a carrier body and an elongated spacer link extending from one end of the body, the spacer link and body forming a single, unitary piece. In a disclosed embodiment, a tab is disposed at the distal end of the spacer link and a slotted opening is located in the end of the carrier body opposed to the end from which the spacer link extends. In that embodiment, the tab of one carrier cooperates with the slotted opening of an adjacently positioned carrier to limit the maximum spacing between the two carriers. The spacer link extends from the top of one end of the carrier body while the slotted opening is oppositely located at the top of the other end such that the spacer link of one carrier is slidable through the slotted opening of the adjacent carrier. Also in that disclosed embodiment, the spacer link includes a section of reduced width to facilitate insertion and removal of the spacer link into and from the slotted opening of an adjacent carrier and a section of reduced thickness to permit flexing of the spacer link thereat to facilitate stacking of the spacer links when the carriers are bunched.
