Blind Slat Menders

A device for repairing a broken, cracked or bent wood or faux wood horizontal/venetian window blind slat or shutter slat comprised of:

• Two distinct version types of an enhanced extrusion lamination film that has a matte finish (smooth) on one side and a velvet (textured) finish on the second side containing the following properties:
• (a) transparent
• (b) glare-free
• (c) ultraviolet light resistant
• (d) scratch resistant
• (e) thin
• (1) Version type one is a die-cut square piece of lamination film WITHOUT a route hole (where the cord goes through on a window blind);
• (a) the top side of the lamination film is a matte finish (smooth) with no die-cut areas on the surface of the film;
• and
• (b) the bottom side of the lamination film is a velvet finish (textured) and contains a clear adhesive applied to the surface of the film with an attached peel-off protective paper liner to protect the adhesive until the device is applied to the damaged area of the slat.
• (2) Version type two is a die-cut square piece of lamination film WITH a die-cut route hole (where the cord goes through on a window blind);
• (a) the top side of the lamination film is a matte finish (smooth) with a die-cut oval shaped opening radiating from the center of the lamination film surface;
• and
• (b) has a pre-cut slit running all the way through the film surface and cut perpendicular to the closest edge of the film, extending from the edge of the middle of the long side of the oval die-cut opening to the closest outer edge of the film;
• and
• (c) the pre-cut slit is pliable without requiring any tools so that it can be separated by the user to insert the chord of the blind running through the route hole into the die-cut oval area of the device so that the device can be placed directly over the route hole on the blind slat to maximize its effectiveness in repairing the damaged blind slat;
• and
• (d) the bottom side of the lamination film is a velvet finish (textured) and contains a clear adhesive applied to the surface with an attached peel-off paper protective liner to the adhesive until the device is applied to the damaged area of the slat.
