I'm sorry, but I don't understand. You ask what 'Levelor' means, not Levolor.

'1-The metal Levelors danced on their mountings', meaning that the blinds moved, i.e. the screws attaching them came loose.

Ah, now I understand. The brand is called Levolor. I don't know why that is but I'm pretty sure it refers to window coverings. What kind of text are you translating? It could either be a typo or has been written like that on purpose.
