A mini blind is a type of horizontal window blind made of long, narrow slats held together by string. Its slats are less than half the width of a regular venetian blind, and are usually made of aluminium, measuring 15mm or 25mm. The slats are opened and closed by rotating a rod or by directly pulling a string, and they are raised and lowered by pulling other strings.
In the United Kingdom the term "venetian blind" also covers mini blinds.

Famous quotes containing the word blind:
“Natural selection, the blind, unconscious, automatic process which Darwin discovered, and which we now know is the explanation for the existence and apparently purposeful form of all life, has no purpose in mind. It has no mind and no mind’s eye. It does not plan for the future. It has no vision, no foresight, no sight at all. If it can be said to play the role of the watchmaker in nature, it is the blind watchmaker.”
—Richard Dawkins (b. 1941)
