Abstract (en)

A blind assembly comprises a rectangular frame (30), a pair of self retracting blinds (10,20) mounted at opposite ends of the frame, a pair of slide members (11,21) supported in slideways (35,36) extending along either side of the frame to which the respective blinds are connected to enable one or other or both blinds to be deployed along the frame, means being provided to couple the slide members together for tandem movement of the blinds to enable the extent to which the respective blinds are deployed to be varied and each blind having means to lock the blind fully stowed and thereby to hold the other blind fully deployed along the frame. In a preferred arrangement, each slide member is supported in the slideways for tilting movement in addition to linear movement along the slideways, said tilting movement caused by manual engagement of the slide member being arranged to release said locking means.
