Tilter mechanism for horizontal blind

A tilter for horizontal slatted blinds, adapted to be mounted into a blind head rail having a rotating tilt rod therein, comprising:

• a) a hollow housing having a lid and means for attachment to the head rail, wherein said housing lid is affixed to the housing by threaded fasteners,
• b) line actuated spool and gear means rotatably disposed within the housing and lid, having means for attaching a pair of lines through the head rail for transmitting rotation to the blind by pulling downward on a line to achieve a desired angular position of the blind,
• c) reduction gear means pivotally joined to the housing and rotatably meshing with the spool and gear means, thus decreasing transmitted rotational movement, and
• d) tilt rod rotating means having a tilt rod bore pivotally joined to the housing and rotatably meshing with the reduction gear means such that axial movement is transmitted to a tilt rod that penetrates through the bore for blind slat positioning.
