  • Ladder cords for venetian blinds
    Patent number: 4945971
    Abstract: The lateral chain legs of ladder cords for Venetian blinds in accordance with the invention are formed with regularly spaced openings to allow mounting of the cord. This is made possible by cutting the ladder cord to the desired length and removing the transverse cross connectors at the end portions of the cord, whereupon the cord may be mounted with the aid of the openings in the header and bottom mounting rails of the blind and the ladder cord length can be adjusted to any blind length. When the ladder cord is intended for use with Venetian blinds of standard lengths the chain legs need be provided with mounting openings only at the end portions of the standard length ladder cords.
