<p>Apparatus for mechanically assembling a venetian blind in which the slat material (14), as it is assembled into the ladders (30), is prevented from kinking by a hold down member (40). This member (40) includes a first portion (44) located below a slat lift finger (42) and a second portion (48, 50) located above the upper surface of the slat material (14), the slat lifting finger (42) maintaining the hold down member (40) in this position. When the slat lift finger (42) is raised, it will disengage from its first portion (44) and allow movement of the hold down member (40) out of way of the rising slat thereby preventing scratching of the upper surface of the slat material (14).</p> |
