Abstract: An actuator assembly includes an actuator with a cylinder-shaped shaft rotatable around an axially extending center axis (A), and the shaft includes an envelope surface. The assembly further provides a fixed, tubular bearing surrounding a section of the shaft, the bearing having an inner surface facing the envelope surface of the shaft so that an interface between the shaft and the bearing is created. The interface provides at least one circumferential groove and at least one complimentary circumferential ridge. The groove is arranged in the one of the envelope surface of the shaft and the inner surface of the bearing and the complimentary ridge is arranged in the other of the envelope surface of the shaft and the inner surface of the bearing.

Abstract: A connector for connecting a ladder cord in a venetian blind to the bottom rail of the venetian blind includes two portions with one portion being securable to the bottom rail of the venetian blind and the other portion permanently connected to the ladder cord. Interconnection of the portions of the connector thereby secure the ladder cord to the bottom rail at preselected positioning.

Abstract: A system for manufacturing blinds comprises a processor unit, at least one manufacturing facility for carrying out a manufacturing step and a communication device for exchanging data between the processor unit and said at least one manufacturing facility. To arrange for efficient and economical manufacturing, whereby manufacturing time and scrap are relatively low, the processor unit is adapted to generate data for controlling the system taking into account an order portfolio and at least one parameter from said at least one manufacturing facility.
