I ALFRED HAYNES, of 11 Albion Grove, Barnsbury, in the county of Middlesex,
Window Blind maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in or applicable to outside blinds for
windows and otherwise whereby the blind is projected by the act of lowering the
same instead of requiring a separate acton for this purpose and the use of pins or
spring catches is dispensed with for securing the blind in position.
Ι
For this purpose I provide a stay or bar the lower end of which is pivotted or
jointed at a suitable point along the usual blind iron the inner end of which is
jointed and slides in guides as heretofore; the upper end of the said stay or bar is
suitably pivotted or jointed to the casing of the spring blind roller or to the
frame of the door or other place to which the blind is fixed.
By this arrangement when the front end, of the blind iron is pulled downwards
to lower the blind it will move on the joint of the stay or bar and its inner
end will thereby be caused to slide upwards into a horizontal position thereby'
projecting the blind.

page_text: I ALFRED HAYNES, of 11 Albion Grove, Barnsbury, in the county of Middlesex,
Window Blind Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to improvements in or applicable to outside. blinds -for
windows and otherwise whereby the blind is projected by the act of lowering the
same instead of requiring a separate action for this purpose and the use of pins or
spring catches is dispensed with for securing the blind in position.
For this purpose I provide a stay or bar the lower end of which is pivotted or
jointed at a suitable point along the usual blind iron the inner end of which is
jointed and slides in guides as heretofore; the upper end of the said stay or bar is
suitably pivotted or jointed to the casing of the Blind Box or to the frame of the
door or window or other place to which the blind is fixed.
In order to enable my invention to be fully understood I will proceed to
describe the same by reference to the accompanying drawing in which figure 1
represents a side elevation of an outside blind with my improvements applied
thereto the blind being shewn lowered and projected; figure 2 is a similar view to
figure 1 but shewing the blind raised or closed; figure 3-is a front elevation of
one side of the blind which is also shewn raised or closed; figure 4 is a horizontal
section (drawn to a larger scale) of one of the guides in which the blind iron
slides; figure 5 is a perspective view shewing my improvements applied to an
outside door blind. Similar letters in all the figures represent similar parts.
a, is the casing of the spring blind-roller b, c, is the blind, d is one of the blind
irons each of the inner ends of which is jointed at e, to a sliding piece f, working
in a guide g, on the frame of the window, door or the like to which the blind is
fixed all of the said parts being of ordinary construction.
h, is my stay or bar which I joint or pivot at i, to each of the blind irons d;
j, represents a bracket on the frame of the window, door or the like, to which the
upper end of my stay or bar h, is pivotted or jointed.
"
By this arrangement, the blind being raised or closed as shewn in figures 2
and 3, when the front ends of the blind irons d, are pulled downwards to lower
the blind they will move on the joints i, of my stays or bars h, and the inner ends
of the blind irons d, will thereby be caused to slide upwards into a horizontal
position as shewn in figure 1, thereby projecting the blind which will be in this
manner firmly held in position without the aid of pins or spring catches. To
raise or close the blind it is only necessary to raise the blind irons d, and their.
inner ends will be caused by my stays or bars h, to slide downwards into their
vertical position.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1. The use in combination with outside blinds of a stay or bar such as h,
substantially as and for the purpose herein before described.
2. The improved outside blind herein before described and represented in the
accompanying drawing.
