Abstract: In a vertical blind track of the type incorporating a sprocket gear within an end control housing to rotate a fluted pinion gear and vanes carried thereby under action of a pull-chain, and wherein the end control housing includes a first gear and a pair of second gears, one of which is driven by the sprocket gear when rotated, the apparatus of the invention secures the vanes in closed position, against inadvertent "bounce back" to a partially opened position, by utilizing the sprocket gear to effect rotation between the first gear and the pair of second gears, but with a filled recess between a pair of adjacent teeth on the first gear to prevent meshing with the second gears, and causing a binding of the rotating mechanism at a predetermined point which defines the closed position of the vanes.
