Win′dow-blind.

A curtain shade or shutter to close the window against light, or to make it safe against intrusion.

Shutter and awning.

In Fig. 7243, the metallic blind is hinged at top, and is drawn upward by cords to form an awning. Rods hinged to its outer edge are let down to form supports.

Fig. 7244 shows a roller blind made of slats and adapted to close any portion of the window, either above or below the meeting rails of the sashes.

The flexible blind is wound on a roller upon whose journals are wound the side tapes which are connected to the windowframe above. One cord supports in its loop and adjusts the hight of the lower roll of the blind; the other cord winds with the upper roll and adjusts its hight by winding it or allowing it to unwind its contents.
