ABSTRACT:
A louvered blind having a first blind assembly defining a first passageway and a second blind assembly defining a second passageway. A rod passes through both the first and second passageways. A first spacer is frictionally secured to the rod and has a portion disposed in the first passageway for securing the rod to the first blind assembly. The rod is fixedly secured to the second blind. The louvered blind also includes a mechanism for rotating the first spacer and a stop mechanism operatively associated with the rod to resist rotation of the rod. In use, the first spacer and the first blind assembly can be rotated simultaneously with the rod and the second blind assembly. The spacer and the first blind can also be rotated when the stop mechanism resists rotation of the rod and the second blind assembly so that the first blind assembly can be rotated independently of the second blind assembly.
