Slat with pressure contact part and blind using same

A blind for use in a window frame having opposing walls, the blind comprising:

• a plurality of slats, each slat of the plurality of slats comprising:
• a wing portion structured to block light, the wing portion having a first end in a longitudinal direction and a second end opposite to the first end;
• and
• a first pressure contact part provided at the first end and a second pressure contact portion provided at the second end, the first pressure contact part comprising a first face and the second pressure contact portion comprising a second face;
• wherein the first face is a furthermost structure of the slat at the first end in the longitudinal direction;
• wherein the second face is a furthermost structure of the slat at the second end in the longitudinal direction;
• wherein the first face comprises a first face planar surface approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and bound by a first face outer circumferential edge, the first face planar surface being continuous and completely filling an area bound by the first face outer circumferential edge;
• wherein the second face comprises a second face planar surface approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and bound by a second face outer circumferential edge, the second face planar surface being continuous and completely filling an area bound by the second face outer circumferential edge;
• wherein the first pressure contact part is structured to press the first face of the first cap against a first wall of the opposing walls, and the second pressure contact part is structured to press the second face against a second wall of the opposing walls, such that a first pressing force of the first face against the first wall and a second pressing force of the second face against the second wall hold the slat between the opposing walls;
• wherein the plurality of slats are spaced apart from each other;
• wherein the slat is movable in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and configured to be held at any position within the window frame.
