Abstract

A horizontal window blind apparatus (10) having at least a first and second slat (12,14) disposed parallel and spaced relative to each other is disclosed. The apparatus (10) includes a first tab (16) which is secured to the first slat (12), the first tab (16) defining a first opening (18) and a second opening (20) disposed between the first opening (18) and the first slat (12). A second tab (22) is secured to the second slat (14), the second tab (22) being aligned relative to the first tab (16). The second tab (22) defines a third opening (24) and a fourth opening (26) disposed between the third opening (24) and the second slat (14). A first elongate control (28) extends through the first (18) and the third (24) openings and a first locking device (30) is provided for selectively locking the first control (28) relative to the first tab (16). A second locking device (32) is provided for selectively locking the first control (28) relative to the second tab (22). A second elongate control (34) extends through the second (20) and fourth (26) openings. A third locking device (36) selectively locks the second control (34) relative to the first tab (16). Also, a fourth locking device (38) selectively locks the second control (34) relative to the second tab (22).
