Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0305081A2] A retractable screen or blind of the type which is guided at its edges and which includes a latch mechanism. In one construction this mechanism includes a and a first part 16 secured to the end bar of the screen and is provided with a locking element 32. The locking element engages against a ramp 38 part of a catch member on a fixed second part 18. The locking element 32 slides down the ramp and then moves to the space below a locking surface 42 holds the screen in the desired position. Further downward and rearward movement of the locking element 32 enables it to pass behind a stop 46 through a gap 54 therebelow and then into a return passage which allows the blind to retract. The upper part of the ramp 38 can be arranged to flex or move out of the way to allow passage of the locking element 32. An alternative structure mounts a locking element on the lateral guide and a catch member is provided on the end bar to cooperate therewith.
