ABSTRACT:
A vertical blind with an arrangement for supporting a plurality of vanes comprised of an elongate blind head with a plurality of slidable vane carriers disposed therein, each adapted to rotate an individual vane about its vertical axis. Rotational movement of the vanes is effected by providing the blind head with a central rotatable tilt rod that engages a series of face gears disposed within each of the carriers. Each carrier also includes a pinion gear engaged by the face gear and mounted to a vane holder adapted to rotate within a clip provided on the carrier. The vertical blind may also include a plurality of slinding clips linking the carriers, the clips being readily removable from the carriers. The clips may include fastening arrangements which enable adjustment of the spacing between the carriers so as to provide a vertical blind capable of fitting within different dimensions. The vertical blind may also include a plurality of valence clips for attachment of a decorative valence. These valence clips releasably mount to rails attached to the blind head by mounting plates that attach behind an extending portion of the rails. The vertical blind may also include a head with an arrangement of interlocking grooves and rails that allows a plurality of heads to be releasably attached together in order to form a single rigid transportable unit.
