Dutch term or phrase: tuimelstang
Tuimelstang

Om de bordjes van een jaloezie te bewegen, is ieder plankje met een oogje of haakje verbonden met de tuimelstang. Deze is meestal van ijzer en op ongeveer halve hoogte voorzien van een handgreep.
Soms wordt met een veer druk op de stang uitgeoefend, zodat de bordjes niet bij een beetje wind al gaan klepperen.
In de oudste en meest primitieve vorm is de tuimelstang van hout.
