Abstract
A slat angle adjusting device has a body, a roller, a transmission device and a positioning bar. The roller is rotatably attached to the body for a cord being wound around the roller. The transmission device is received in the body and operationally connected to the roller. The positioning bar is integrally formed on the top of the body and has two forked ends adapted to engage with upper bent portions of a headrail of the Venetian blind. Each forked end has an upper tongue and a lower tongue respectively adapted for abutting the top and the bottom of the bent portion on the headrail. The lower tongue has a length shorter than a half of the length of the upper tongue. Accordingly, the body is easily assembled to the headrail with the positioning bar.
