ABSTRACT:
A curtain is mounted directly to a vertical blind assembly for providing enhanced functionality. Mounting brackets are provided which connect a rear portion of the curtain to individual slat carriers slidably mounted within the housing of the vertical blind assembly. In this manner, lateral movement of the carriers, which causes opening and closing of the vertical blinds, likewise causes an opening and closing of the curtain. The bracket extends a sufficient distance from the housing such that the curtain does not hinder pivoting of the vertical blinds. A number of alternative embodiments are provided in which the curtain is mounted to a second housing, such that the curtain can be opened or closed independently of movement of the vertical slats. The secondary housing is either separate from the housing of the vertical blinds, or is integrally formed as a single Siamese housing.
