Claim 12:
13. A covering for an architectural structure, the covering comprising:
a headrail;
a bottom rail extending in a lateral direction between a first lateral end of the bottom rail and a second lateral end of the bottom rail, the bottom rail being suspended relative to the headrail via first and second lift cords, the first lift cord defining a first effective cord length between the headrail and the bottom rail, and the second lift cord defining a second effective cord length between the headrail and the bottom rail;
a lift system component positioned within one of the bottom rail or the headrail; and
a leveling assembly positioned at least partially within the one of the bottom rail or the headrail and being coupled to the lift system component such that movement of a portion of the leveling assembly in the lateral direction results in a lateral position of the lift system component being adjusted within the one of the bottom rail or the headrail;
wherein the lift system component is coupled to the first and second lift cords such that, as the lateral position of the lift system component is adjusted within the one of the bottom rail or the headrail, at least one of the first effective cord length or the second effective cord length is varied to adjust an orientation of the bottom rail; and
wherein the leveling assembly comprises a slide coupled to the lift system component such that movement of the slide within the one of the bottom rail or the headrail in the lateral direction results in the lateral position of the lift system component being adjusted, the slide comprising a connection portion configured to be received within a corresponding insertion slot defined by a portion of the lift system component to couple the slide to the lift system component.
