ABSTRACT:
A kit is provided for modifying a control mechanism of a cord-operated window blind. The conventional control mechanism comprises a control housing including a removable end plate disposed at an end of a head rail of the blind, and a pulley disposed within the control housing and operatively coupled to a pivot rod of the blind. The kit includes: an adapter unit capable of being operatively mounted on the control housing in place of the removable end plate; and a shaft coupler adapted to be operatively mounted within the adapter unit and capable of operatively coupling an output shaft of the drive unit to the pivot rod. The adapter unit comprises a shaft opening disposed substantially co-axially with the pivot rod, and support means disposed on an exterior surface of the adapter, proximal the opening, for operatively supporting a drive unit of a conventional blind remote control.
