Inventor Bob Stokes of Truth or Consequences, NM has created a device to aid in raising and lowering window blinds.

 

Bob frequently enjoys his mornings on the patio, where he watches the dawn light gradually brighten until the sun peeks over the mountain. To shield his eyes from the bright morning sun, he lowers three sunshades, a task that interrupts his tranquil routine due to the effort and time it requires. He often leaves the shades down until the afternoon, when the patio is naturally shaded by the roof. Occasionally, sudden gusts of wind force him to rush outside with another person to help stabilize and manually roll up the shades. This hassle sparked Bob’s creativity, leading him to develop a device that would simplify the process, transforming his morning patio routine into a more enjoyable and seamless experience.

Now, the EZShade Tool allows users to raise and lower window blinds quickly, easily, and effectively with only one hand! While great for areas like patios in residential settings, the invention will be especially useful in large commercial or institutional settings where large quantities of blinds must be opened and closed on a daily basis.
