ABSTRACT:
A window blind having a plurality of substantially identical mounting blocks that are adapted to receive a mounting rod in an aperture formed in each of the mounting blocks wherein the mounting rod is comprised of a plurality of mounting rod sections that can be connected together by sleeves so as to form a mounting rod of a variety of lengths. At one end of the mounting rod, a tilt actuator block is attached. The tilt actuator block has a gearing mechanism such that user manipulation of a pair of cords will result in rotation of the mounting rod. The plurality of slats are attached to the mounting section. The mounting blocks further include a guide plate that receives the lift cord wherein the guide plate has an aperture that allows the lift cord to be extended vertically downward from the mounting section to be connected to the horizontal slats. As each of the components of the mounting section 102 are substantially identical, the component can be used to manufacture mounting sections incorporating both tilting mechanisms and lifting mechanisms for window blinds of a variety of lengths.
