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:
“So unrecorded did it slip away,
So blind was I to see and to foresee,
So dull to mark the budding of my tree
That would not blossom yet for many a May.
If only I could recollect it, such
A day of days! I let it come and go
As traceless as a thaw of bygone snow;
It seemed to mean so little, meant so much;
If only now I could recall that touch,
First touch of hand in hand—Did one but know!”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
