ABSTRACT:
A venetian blind comprising: a top rail; a bottom rail; a first group of slats; at least two first ladders extending between the top and bottom rails and supporting the first group of slats; a second group of slats; at least two second ladders extending between the top rail and the bottom rail and supporting the second group of slats; and a tilt assembly comprising: a tilting rod received within the top rail; a manipulating member for operating the tilting rod; and a reversing mechanism associated with each of the at least one first and second ladders, each reversing mechanism being articulated to the tilting rod and including a first plate and a second plate; each one of said at least two first ladders is connected to a corresponding first plate and each one of said at least two second ladders is connected to a corresponding second plate, said first and second plate being normally biased into rotational engagement with one another, whereby rotation of the tilting rod entails rotation of the first plate and the second plate in the same direction, and further rotation of the tilting rod in the same direction entails disengagement of the first and second plates and rotation of the second plate in an opposite direction.
