drawing the slats together and raising them Explanation: basically the slats are drawn together and raised when there isn't enough battery power left to perform opening/closing operations slats is the best word to use and is also UK english when referring to venetian blinds. I chose drawn together as the slats are connected by cords which are pulled or drawn together (impachettate) You need to rephrase slightly as the literal 'the drawing together and raising of the slats' sounds clunky -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2017-08-09 09:58:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.dictionary.com/browse/venetian-blind ...horizontal slats that may be opened or closed, especially one in which the slats may be raised and drawn together above the window by pulling a cord. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2017-08-09 10:02:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.google.com.gi/patents/US1954464 More particularly, my invention is concerned with the perfecting of what I term an awning blind made up of separate rigid slats so connected by links, so assembled on vertical guides, and so controlled, as to enable them to be readily drawn together into a compact pile as the blind is raised and successively set fixedly in operating position as the blind is lowered. |
