The Kraus patent is also more suited to exterior of window protective use of large, stiff, slats made of steel or glass. A rope ladder for tilt open/tilt close operation runs vertically down the slats with partial retaining by the slat edge notches. The Schaller patent (U.S. Pat. This invention allows a device which provides a design-in approach to high privacy and anti-Peeping Tom technology available upon newly factory built horizontal window blinds, which can be installed at the dwelling without the use of special tools or expertise. However, this slat guide will need some clearance with the window casing to allow for sideways sliding action, individual slat removal. It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together may also find a useful application in other types of devices differing from the type described above. The alternative embodiment has no slat cord holes, but, has two opposing side, notched slats to act as guides for the free play raise open/lower close cord. This Clark patent has no slat cord holes and no slat notches and so no Peeping Tom problem with the slats. 5,769,140 (see below). The topmost slat will hit the headrail causing a partial tilt up for all slats. The center of width cord hole position allowed for raise open and lower close cord clearance in either a full tilt open operation with room-facing or inner slat edge horizontal, a full tilt close operation with room-facing or inner slat edge down, or else a full tilt close operation with room-facing or inner slat edge up. This results from use of the Left Edge Cover Strip (, This results from the Peeping Tom Deterrent Design for Horizontal Window Blinds of the Present Invention (. The lower close operation is done by the user lowering the bottom-most slat and pulling the other slats down via the foldable cloth tapes while the slats slide down upon the horizontal metal bar. No. Many prior art high privacy designs introduce too many light leaks, thus, making them impractical and not commercially viable. This application claims the benefit of Ser. Each cord hole free and notch free slat is simply snapped onto the rung of the cloth ladder using metal snaps. I). Many prior art high privacy designs have caused a large increase in reaction time and effort leading to commercial infeasibility due to inconvenience. A). This invention allows a device which prevents a Peeping Tom (. Stack height is the height of the window blind when fully tilt opened and fully raise opened. The Roberts patent has no slat cord holes in the slats. Modern horizontal wood blinds trace their heritage to the old Venetian blinds. This device consists of specially designed clips, vertical slat cover strips, and two edge cover strip. This invention provides a device which can be sold at the retail or discount store in components with slats of different lengths custom cut and sold separately from the frame integrated with control cord mechanisms. The outside or street edge is the side closest to the off-center slat cord holes. The tilt open/tilt close cords on either side of the slat are sewn attached to the cloth sleeve to form a ladder mechanism for tilt open and tilt close. The Walker patent also still has Peeping Tom access through the edge gaps made with the window casing. The Voss patent is now used commercially by Levolor in their high privacy wood blinds. The raise open/lower close cords were attached to sets of double pulleys hidden in the headrail with the customer pulling the free hanging cords at one end of the headrail. The right side or street side tilt open/tilt close control cord is mostly stationary during a tilt operation with the left side or room side tilt open/tilt close control cord shifting position up and down. Most clip based prior art inventions used metal clips which were of limited color choices. This Anderson patent uses cord hole free slats.
This inside edge is the edge farthest away from the off-center, slat cord holes. A steel bar extends horizontally and length-wise across the center of each horizontal slat. J). The Voss patent seems to be preceded by the very similar design of the Judkins patent (see below). Burglars can use bolt cutters and crow bars to remove the metal slats, so, high security use is not intended. N). Minimal stacking height allows the most amount of full sunlight and fresh air through the fully opened blind. This invention has no necessity for tilt open and tilt close control cord ladder rungs which look like the steps upon a rope ladder of prior art horizontal window blinds. DOORS, WINDOWS, BLINDS, GATES, Screening or protective devices for wall or similar openings, with or without operating or securing mechanisms; Closures of similar construction, Screens or other constructions affording protection against light, especially against sunshine; Similar screens for privacy or appearance; Slat blinds, Lamellar or like blinds, e.g. An object and advantage of this invention is to have no necessity for tilt open/tilt close control cord rope ladder rungs which look like the steps upon a rope ladder of prior art horizontal window blinds. The accent frame can be chosen to match the interior of a room or contrast with the slat color. Turning now descriptively to the drawings, in which similar reference characters denote similar elements throughout the several views, the FIGURES illustrate the Peeping Tom deterrent device (. The street facing or top of C-shape clip edge also has a metal pivoting attachment to the cloth ladder assembly. An object and advantage of the present invention is to provide an edge device that prevents Peeping Toms (. An advantage of the present invention is that it provides such a clip device (, M).
H). A free play cord going down opposite sides of the cloth ladder provides raise open and lower close action. KAWABOINGO (R) CORP., CALIFORNIA, Free format text: This object has not been met by prior art high privacy blind designs such as the Hunter Douglas (R) design or the Chen patent (U.S. Pat. P). Minimum stack height allows the most amount of fresh air and sunlight into a window. This Hauser patent covers a horizontal window blind having slats with no cord holes and no notches. An advantage of the present invention is that it provides such clip devices (. 5,918,657 (see above) which more fully explains the details mentioned in this first patent. The koch patent has no edge gap protection for Peeping Toms. Stack height can greatly increase using ill-designed clips with often concave-down, curved slats. It has an objective of lowering light leaks and allowing individual removal and replacement of broken slats. The objective of low light leaks is obvious for the benefit of sleeping persons and people wishing high privacy in bedrooms and bathrooms.
U.S. patent application Ser. In a likewise manner, a vertical column of the room facing, front, metal rings is threaded with a tilt open/tilt close cord which is tied to each individual metal ring. Many prior art high privacy designs introduce too many light leaks, thus, making them impractical and not commercially viable. make single stained, slat cleaning easier.
The top-most slat must be tilted room facing edge up to tilt all other slats room facing edge up via the two cloth tapes. The present invention relates generally to window coverings, and more specifically, to window blinds of the type having slats, control cords, and control cord holes in the slats. An object and advantage of the present invention is to provide such a device in the form of a clip and also an edge cover strip which can be of whatever color or pattern is necessary to properly blend with the existing window blinds and the room interior. 5,386,867 (see below) assigned to Care Mate (R) International Company, Ltd.
This avoids the partial, inner slat edge up, tilt position problem of the Hunter-Douglas high privacy design mentioned below. The Venetian blind headrail could be unscrewed to take the blinds out for light soap washing and spraying off. C).
A standard, prior art, vertical, cloth ladder type slat holder is used for the tilt open and tilt close operation. Q). These horizontal window miniblinds have a slat tilt axis off-center width on the horizontal slat allowing the slat center hole to be made much smaller for deterring Peeping Toms. Disadvantages of the Schaller patent are that the color or decorative pattern of the frame is fairly permanent. The notched slats will allow light leaks. In detail it shows that full raise open/lower close operation can occur with the use of the Control Cord Hole Free Window Blind Slat (, In detail it shows the Window Blind Head Rail (, The use of Positive Hook and Loop Fastener Pads (, In this embodiment the Control Cord Hole Free Window Blind Slat (, The Window Blind Raising Open and Lowering Close Control Cord Pair (, The installation of the Window Blind Raising Open and Lowering Close Control Cord Pair (, The installation of the Window Blind Tilt Control Cord Pair (, The attachment of cords to a vertical column of the Control Cord Hole Free Window Blind Slats (, The Raise Open and Lower Close Control Cord Pair User Cord Loops (. A free play vertical raise open/lower close cord runs down either side of the slats and is held in place by the clips and sewn on loops. This front frame piece functions like a non-removable edge cover strip stopping edge Peeping Tom viewing action although it is not intended for this use. 
A device for a horizontal window blind of the type installed over the interior of common household windows which invention comprises the following elements: 1) a raising open and lowering close control cord. The slat is attached to the rung of the cloth ladder with a specially designed tension clip. Stack height can greatly increase using ill-designed clips with often concave-down, curved slats.
There is also no edge gap protection against Peeping Toms. 
An advantage of the present invention is to provide a decorator item where the clip (. D). A mechanism for frame construction with aluminum pieces is provided.
