An adjustable blind assembly, having a first and a second telescoping tension rod, an adjustable blind, said blind having a plurality of sleeves therein, each of said sleeves arranged to accept a transverse member, each of said transverse members having a first and a second endcap arranged on opposite ends of said transverse members, each of said endcaps arranged to engage one of said telescoping tension rods via an attachment means, and a height adjustment means fixedly secured to each of said telescoping tension rods.
Claims15
An adjustable blind assembly, comprising:
- a vertical first telescoping tension rod;
- a second telescoping tension rod, said second telescoping tension rod arranged parallel to said first telescoping rod;
- a plurality of transverse members, each transverse member of said plurality of transverse members having a first and a second endcap arranged on opposite ends thereof, each of said endcaps arranged to engage one of said telescoping tension rods via a bungee cord, each of said endcaps comprising:
- a first end and a second end;
- an internal cavity, said internal cavity having a first opening at said first end and a second opening arranged proximate to said second end;
- and,
- a hook arranged on an external surface of each said endcap and arranged opposite said second opening, said hook forming a void opposite of said second opening, wherein said first end accepts and secures a first end and a second end of said bungee cord within said internal cavity, said bungee cord passing through said second opening and looping around one of said telescoping tension rods, said bungee cord engaging said hook of said endcap at a middle portion of said bungee cord and rest within said void, thereby securing by way of a lateral force said endcap to one of said telescoping tension rods such that said second end of said endcap abuts one of said telescoping tension rods;
- an adjustable blind, said blind having a plurality of sleeves therein, each of said sleeves arranged to accept one of said plurality of transverse members therein;
- and,
- a height adjuster fixedly secured to each of said telescoping tension rods.
