TILTER MECHANISM FOR A WINDOW BLIND

摘要

A control mechanism for operating a covering for an architectural opening with the control mechanism being designed to control the tilt or angle of vanes or other such elements used in the covering. The control mechanism is preferably cord driven, but can be driven by a tilt wand. The mechanism utilizes a dye cast zinc spur gear and a die cast zinc worm drive gear that are operably housed in a plastic housing. The housing has two component parts with one part designed to enclose a drum about which a control cord can be wrapped, with the other housing part enclosing the spur gear and worm gear.
