<p>A mini blind actuator has a motor and a housing (30) that holds the motor (60) and a dc battery (40). The rotor of the motor is coupled to the baton (22) of the mini-blind for rotating the baton and thereby opening or closing the slats of the mini-blind. Alternatively, the rotor is coupled to the tilt rod of the blind to rotate the tilt rod and thereby open or close the slats of the mini-blind. A control signal generator (52) generates a control signal for completing the electrical circuit between the battery and the motor. The control signal can be generated in response to a predetermined amount of daylight or in response to a user generated remote command signal.</p> |
