ABSTRACT:
A vertical-blind-like modular assembly, in which each of the blinds may be individually replaced in situ without disassembling the entire assembly, and in which the plurality of blinds making up the assembly will maintain their substantially parallel alignment even during attempted pivotal movement while an obstruction prevents such pivotal movement of any one of the plurality of blinds, includes a spring biased slip clutch member which is common to all of the blinds. Each of the blinds is respectively removably mountable on a blind carrier by means of a blind holder which includes a hook-like portion insertable through an aperture in the blinds. When a fabric blind is used, the aperture may be reinforced by use of an insert having an aperture which is alignable with the aperture in the blinds. Each blind carrier includes a bevel gear arrangement which is keyed to a common shaft which is, in turn, driven by a common worm gear arrangement cooperable with the common slip clutch. The separate blind carrier members are linked together by removable chain link sections so that any desired link spacing can be employed and the carrier spacing can be altered without removing the entire assembly from its installed position.
