COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Outside Blinds or Sun Shades for Shop or Dwelling House
Windows.
JAMES REID MALCOLM, Clerk No. 46 Dudhope Crescent Road Dundee, Scotland
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what inanner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My invention consists of a shaft A placed perpendicular and fixed on the upper
cornice of the window and let into the ground below. Fixed on the top of said shaft
is a notched semicircle disk B, each notch holding an arm, or rib C, in or near the
centre of said arm or rib is jointed a second arm D, the other end of which is attached
to a moveable semicircle disk E, with corresponding notches said disk acting as a
runner up and down the perpendicular shaft A, for expanding and closing the
blind or shade as required. Frame work made of wood or iron cover of any kind
of cloth.
Having now particulary described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. That the blind or sunshade requires no elaborate fittings or fixings on the
window that it is attached to such as iron rod rollers, or stanchions.
That the novelty consists in the application of a new mode for fixing and
suspending out-side blinds or sunshades for shops or dwelling house windows by
combining in one frame all requisite fittings.

page_text: The novelty as described here is, all are attached on one frame each part having no
individuality of its own but by their combination they not only constitute a sunshade
but all that is required for a sunshade in the way of fittings, fixings and suspenders,
the separate parts become one entire whole which is a sunshade combining in itself all
that is required for a sunshade.
2. I claim that the novelty described is not a thing of separate parts, but an
entire whole which combines not only a sunshade but all that is required for the
same.
3. I claim-The novelty consists in the application of the blind or sunshade as
described to either straight or semi-circle windows.
4. I claim. That novelty consists in the combination producing a semi-circle
shape the blind or shade encircling the window.
5. The novelty consists in all the parts being so arranged and combined as to be at
the sametime sunshade fittings fixings, suspenders, elevators and all requirements for
a blind or sunshade in one article.
