<p>A horizontal window blind apparatus (10) is disclosed for selectively controlling light transfer through a window (12). The apparatus (10) includes a frame (14) disposed within the window (12) and a tab (16) movably connected to and supported by the frame (14), the tab (16) having a first and a second end (18, 20). A slat (22) has a front and a rear edge (24, 26), the rear edge (26) of the slat (22) being connected to the first end (18) of the tab (16) such that the slat (22) is cantilevered from the tab (16). A further slat (34) is disposed parallel relative to the slat (22), the further slat (34) having a further front and a further rear edge (36, 38). The further rear edge (38) of the further slat (34) is connected to the first extremity (30) of the further tab (28) such that the further slat (34) is cantilevered from the further tab (28). The arrangement is such that in operation of the apparatus, when the tabs (16, 28) supported by the frame (14) are moved, the slats (22, 34) cantilvered to the tabs (16, 28) are correspondingly moved for selectively controlling the light transfer through the window (12) and for facilitating cleaning of the slats (22, 34).</p> |
