ABSTRACT:
A venetian blind with individually adjustable slats. Each slat has multi-layered decorative slat extensions mounted in a slat extension holder. The individual slat extensions are mounted directly above one another in the unextended position. Each slat can be individually adjusted in length by sliding the slat extensions in opposite directions. The slats in the blinds can be now be extended to allow the blind to be used on windows of varying width. Each slat can be individually adjusted to allow the blind to be used interchangeably or on odd shaped windows, such as arched windows. The cords used to control slat position and the cords used to raise and lower the slats are mounted on the edge of the slats which do not have holes. In addition, a slat holder is described one of its slat extension grips set back from the edge of the slat holder. Slat inserts, constructed of PVC or fabric, for example, can be placed in the slat holder between the slat grips while one or more holes are punched into the space between the edge and the slat grip for accommodating the lift cords and/or tilt cords. A custom venetian blind can be constructed using these slat holders with a single slat extension placed therein.
