(54) Roll-up blind apparatus


(57) A lateral member for tunnel housings for containing roll-up blinds, includes a plate member to be applied to the open sides of a housing, a cavity formed in the plate member in a central position, and a means for positioning an end of a roll-up roller of a blind which is accommodated by interlocking in the cavity; its particularity consists of the fact that the positioning means includes a casing which forms an eccentrically arranged seat for rotatably accommodating the end and is provided with mutually opposite outer toothed surfaces for engagement with opposite toothed walls of the cavity, so that by turning through at least a fraction of a full turn the body in the cavity one achieves a stepwise variation of the position of the seat. The invention overcomes the drawbacks observed in the prior art, allowing an ideal positioning of the roll-up roller and an easy correction of its incorrect position caused by faulty installation of the housing, so as to achieve correct upward and downward movement of the blind.
