ABSTRACT:
A blind assembly includes a plurality of elongated main louvers and a pair of end louvers. Each louver has a front leading edge with an internal annular socket attached proximate the leading edge. Each end louver includes a rear socket having a rear semi-cylindrical interior. A plurality of adjacent fabric strips form a curtain. Each fabric strip includes a pair of marginal edges, each edge having a semi-cylindrical bead attached thereto. Adjacent beads form a cylindrical member which is received within the annular front sockets. The semi-cylindrical bead attached to each end of the curtain is received within the semi-cylindrical interior of the rear socket of each end vane. A clip supported by the top surface of each socket extends within the channel and supports the fabric strips. A weight located in a channel of each louver distal the leading edge acts as a counter balance to the weight of the front sockets and curtain.
