PRIVACY SCREEN

摘要

A privacy screen (1) for an opening (3) such as a window of a building. The privacy screen includes a plurality of elongate slats (16) and support means (8, 12, 13, 14) adapted for supporting the slats in fixed positions relative to each other. The slats are so sized and when in said fixed relative positions so spaced apart and so orientated that when the support means is secured in a defined position in or adjacent to the opening, the slats prevent viewing of a first specific predetermined region on a first side of the privacy screen by persons within a second specific predetermined region on a second side of the privacy screen opposite the first side. The slats also minimise interference with viewing by the persons of a desired region on the first side of the privacy screen. A combination privacy screen and window assembly for an opening is also provided. In this combination two panes (201) of transparent material are secured in fixed positions on opposite sides of and adjacent to the slats. The privacy screen is especially suited to the screening of windows and other openings in buildings so as to prevent loss of privacy of neighbouring premises whilst maximising views to the surrounding environment.
