Venetian blinds
have horizontal slats, one above another. They
are suspended by strips of cloth called tapes,
or by cords, by which all slats in unison can
be rotated through nearly 180 degrees. The slats
can be rotated such that they overlap with one
side facing inward and then in the opposite direction
such that they overlap with the other side facing
inward. Between those extremes, various degrees
of separation may be effected between the slats
by varying the rotation. |

There
are also lift cords passing through slots in each
slat. When these cords are pulled, the bottom
of the blind moves upward causing the lowest slats
to press the underside of the next highest slat
as the blind is raised. A modern variation of
the lift cords combines them with the rotational
cords in slots on the two edges of each slat.
This avoids the slots otherwise required to allow
a slat to rotate despite a lift cord passing through
it, thus decreasing the amount of light passing
through a closed blind.
