VENETIAN BLIND COMPRISING PAIRWISE INTERCONNECTED SLATS

摘要

A Venetian blind comprises a plurality of pairs (1) of horizontal slats (3, 5) which are connected together at the ends by means of a rope or tape (15). The Figure shows the Venetian blind in partially closed position. The slats can rotate around the longitudinal axis both clockwise and anti-clockwise, so that the top or bottom respectively is rotated to the side facing the window. The Venetian blind has cords to which the slats are attached with their longitudinal edges. By pulling at the cords the slats can be rotated clockwise or anti-clockwise. The Venetian blind comprises a mechanism (not shown) by which the cords are pulled up and/or released. This mechanism is arranged such that by operating it the top slats (3) of each pair (1) can be rotated clockwise and anti-clockwise, while simultaneously the bottom slats (5) of each pair 1 rotate anti-clockwise and clockwise, respectively.
