The present disclosure describes roll-up coverings of custom length and/or width for architectural openings, and a method of assembling the same. The custom covering includes at least one outer elongate tape, at least one inner elongate tape, and a plurality of slats. The tapes preferably have lengths along central longitudinal axis extending between first ends and second ends of the tapes that are selected to correspond to the custom length of the covering. The slats are preferably transverse to, spaced apart along, and coupled to the tapes at any desired location along the tape lengths to achieve desired spacings of the slats, thereby providing a subassembly of custom length. The slats may have lengths extending between first ends and second ends of the slats, orthogonal to the central axis of the tapes, and selected to provide a custom width of the subassembly.

A venetian blind includes a top rail and a bottom rail linked by two ladder ropes. The ladder rope has a first vertical portion, a second vertical portion, transverse portions connected between the first and second vertical portions, and loop portions connected to the first vertical portion. The slat is supported by the transverse portion and has two holes, two openings, and two slots communicating between the holes and the openings. The loop portions penetrate into the holes from the openings through the slots so as to be mounted around one long edges of the slats. The peripheral wall of the hole has a guiding surface and a positioning portion. When the slats are tilted from a horizontal position to a tilted position, the loop portions are moved along the guiding surfaces to the positioning portions. As such, the present invention is structurally simple and easy to be assembled.

The Privacy Adapter For Venetian Blinds allows for independent operation of an upper portion of said blinds and a lower portion of same. This invention pertains to venetian and mini blinds as are used to provide shade and cover for windows and openings to allow light and access in buildings. Traditional blinds allow for filtering and blocking of light in said openings. This, however, leaves a lot to be desired in terms of allowing a portion of the blinds to be selectively operated and another portion of said blinds to be independently operated.

A follower arrangement, operatively coupled to a plurality of slats of a blind assembly via a flexible cord, for raising and lowering the plurality of slats via the flexible cord, may include a housing defining a first opening therethrough, a ferromagnetic or paramagnetic counterweight to act against a weight of the plurality of slats of the blind assembly to reduce forces required to be applied to the follower arrangement to raise or lower the slats, and at least one magnet received within the first opening defined through the housing and magnetically attached to the counterweight to magnetically secure the housing to the counterweight.

A ladder tape device for a venetian blind includes a U-shaped fixing base fixed in a head rail of the venetian blind, a ladder tape retainer with opposite ends placed on corresponding two side-panels of the fixing base, a plurality of ladder tapes with a top end of each ladder tape passing through the fixing base and being wound on the ladder tape retainer, and a limiting cover buckled on the top end of the fixing base, an inner wall of the limiting cover and an outer wall of the top end of the ladder tape retainer are separated by a predetermined distance to form a ladder tape limiting space.
