Exemplary pressurization and coating systems, methods, and apparatuses are described herein. In certain embodiments, pressurization systems, methods, and apparatuses are used in conjunction with coating systems, methods, and apparatuses to control pressure about a substrate after a coating material is applied to a surface of the substrate. An exemplary system includes a die tool configured to apply a coating material to a substrate passing through the die tool and a pressurization apparatus attached to the die tool and forming a pressurization chamber. The pressurization apparatus is configured to receive the substrate from the die tool and control pressure about the substrate in the pressurization chamber. In certain embodiments, the die tool forms a coating chamber and is configured to apply the coating material on at least one surface of the substrate in the coating chamber.

The present invention relates to cord management systems for window coverings. More particularly, the present invention relates to various structures and features to lift and/or tilt Venetian-type horizontal blind slats.
Various systems and methods for tilting a horizontal blind slat. More particularly, the present invention relates to a window covering having a lower profile head rail than is traditionally used in the industry for use with Venetian-type horizontal blind slats.
Systems and methods for pivoting a blind slat by manipulating one or more tilt cords of a set of blind slats to achieve superior blind closure. More particularly, the present invention relates to a window covering having a blind slat that is rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise by rotating a driving mechanism that is positioned in a horizontal orientation. The present invention further relates to a window covering system that achieves tilting of blind slats without requiring the traditional tilting components of standard Venetian-type blinds.
