Abstract
A blockout blind system includes a pelmet with a roller blind fitted and at least one strip attached to the pelmet and forming a light seal against the blind. A single flexible strip may drape over the top of the blind, or a front and rear flexible strip may instead drape over the front and rear of the blind, or a semi-rigid resilient strip may be deflected by the blind to form the light still. Additionally, a cross rail at the bottom of the blind is free to move vertically with respect to the blind to provide an effective light seal agains a non-horizontal window sill.
Claims10
A blockout blind system as in claim 8, further comprising a roller blind fitted to a pelmet, and further comprising at least one light blocking strip attached along a first side to the top of the pelmet and is in contact with the roller blind to form a light seal between the light blocking strip and the blind, wherein a second side of the at least one light blocking strip is positioned away from the roller blind to prevent unwanted dislodgement.
A blockout blind system comprising a bottom cross rail, wherein a bottom end of the roller blind is retained within the bottom cross rail in a manner such that the bottom cross rail can move vertically with respect to the bottom end of the roller blind.
