Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1072753A2] The lamella blinds have a guiding track (30) with at least one joint (60) and on raising and lowering of the blinds an end is formed. A control means (54) is situated in the end section (8) and has an operative coupling with a tension unit (40). On activating the drive (22,24) the blind is moved. Translation movement of the tension unit is caused by activating the drive unit.
