A restrainer (1. 100) comprises a first arm (3, 103) and second arm (3, 103), and a retaining arm (2, 102) co-operating with the second arm (4) to urge any part of a blind contained between the first arm (2, 103) and the retaining member (2, 102) towards the first arm (3, 103) and to hold said part in place. In a particular arrangement the third or retaining arm (2) has a T-shaped end piece (17) which engages with the surface of grooves associated with the second arm (4) to lock the third (or retaining) arm in position to retain a part of the blind between the third (or retaining) arm (2) and the first arm (3). The part of the blind can be the blind cord or chain, the blind panels or vanes (14) between the retaining arm (2) and bars (5); in the latter case the retaining member acts upon the panel or vanes (14) to contain the blind cord or chain between bars associated with the first member, the second arm and the blind panels or vanes themselves. When the blind is closed, retaining arm closed off space between the bars and the first and second members retaining the blind cord or chain in that space. In another arrangement the restrainer (100) comprises retaining member (102), a hinge pin (117) sliding in grooves (118) in the second arm (102). There is a slot (148) in the front (142) of the second arm through which one end (152) of the retaining member is attached to the hinge pin. The retaining member (102) may thus slide and pivot with respect to the second arm (104), from a locked position to an unlocked position to retain or release louvers or vanes of the blind. Apertures (105) are provided at the rear of the first arm (103) to retain the chains and cords of the blind out of harm's way. |
