Abstract:
1. A trim strip assembly for covering open spaces on opposite sides of a window which are not covered by a window blind when the blind is deployed due to a width of the blind being configured to be less than a width of the window to be covered, the trim strip assembly comprising a first component having a flat edge adapted to be secured in vertically oriented relationship to a side of a frame in which the window is mounted, the first component including an attachment member extending generally perpendicularly outwardly from the flat edge and having a pair of clamping walls defining a channel there between, a second component formed as a generally planar rigid light blocking member having an inner side portion thereof receivable within the channel so that an outer side portion thereof extends outwardly relative to the side of the frame so as to extend in front of the window, an inner edge of the inner side portion of the light blocking member being bulbous so as to frictionally seat in an inner portion of the channel, the outer side portion including a plurality of generally vertically extending parallel lines of weakness whereby an effective width of the outer side portion may selectively be made depending on a width of the open spaces to be covered on opposite sides of the window.
