Abstract
Systems and methods for pivoting a blind slat by manipulating one or more tilt cords of a set of blind slats to achieve superior blind closure. More particularly, the present invention relates to a window covering having a blind slat that is rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise by rotating a driving mechanism that is positioned in a horizontal orientation. The present invention further relates to a window covering system that achieves tilting of blind slats without requiring the traditional tilting components of standard Venetian-type blinds.
