ABSTRACT:
An adjustable light and air-admitting thermal and acoustic barrier has a plurality of sound-attenuating blades pivotally mounted in a frame in a mutually spaced, parallel relationship. When the barrier is mounted at an open window, the blades may be adjusted to various open positions to allow desired amounts of outside light and air into a room, but cooperate in such open positions to form an effective sound trap for annoying outside sounds. Each of the blades functions as both a sound absorber and a sound transmission barrier, and comprises an elongated, relatively thin core of solid, sound-reflective material having longitudinally extending edge and intermediate flanges which define cavities on opposite sides of the core. Secured within the cavities by the flanges are strips of sound-absorbing insulating material, the core and insulating material being laterally enfolded by a cover secured to the flanges. When the blades are in their fully closed position, they form a thermal barrier to reduce heat gain or loss through the window.
