Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1026361A2] The slats have at least one round hole (11) along their length axis, which has a periphery (12) with a border designed to act as a spacer element between the slat and another slat above or below it. The border has no sharp edges and allows optimum passage of the pull cord through the hole.
