Louver covering system

A covering system for a set of vertical louvers, comprising a plurality of vertical louvers and a horizontal apparatus from which the vertical louvers hang and means for hanging each vertical louver from the apparatus, the covering system comprising:

• a plurality of removable louver covers, each cover being adapted for installing over a vertical louver, each louver blind having a top, lateral sides, a bottom, a maximum width and a means for hanging the louver, said cover comprising:
• an oblong piece of material folded in half lengthwise into a front panel and a back panel, each panel having a top edge, a bottom edge, an inner side edge and an outer side edge, said front and back panels having sufficient length and width to enclose the vertical louver;
• said front and back panels being joined together in facial relationship along their outer side edges and inner side edges to form a sleeve, said panels having an unjoined zone along at least one of said side edges near said bottom edge which unjoined zone has a length adapted to exceed the louver's maximum width sufficiently to allow the bottom edge to be folded to the side and to allow the louver to pass therethrough;
• said top panel edges having joined portions and an unjoined portion, said joined portions being formed by joining said top panel edges of said front and back panels, said joined portions forming shoulders adapted to hang said cover on the vertical louver, said unjoined portion having a width adapted to permit the passage of the hanging means therethrough;
• and
• said bottom edges of said front and back panels being joined.

A covering system for a set of vertical louvers, comprising a plurality of vertical louvers, a horizontal apparatus from which the vertical louvers hang and means for hanging each vertical louver from the apparatus, the covering system comprising:

• a plurality of removable louver covers, the louver covers numbering less than or equal to the number of vertical louvers, each cover being adapted for installing over a vertical louver, each louver blind having a top, lateral sides, a bottom, a maximum width and a means for hanging the louver, said cover comprising:
• an oblong piece of material, folded in half lengthwise into a front panel and a back panel, each panel having a top edge, a bottom edge, a folded edge and an outer side edge, the front and back panels having sufficient length and width to enclose the vertical louver;
• said front and back panels being joined along their outer side edges to form a sleeve, said panels having an unjoined zone along at least one of said side edges near said bottom edge which unjoined zone has a length adapted to exceed the louver's maximum width sufficiently to allow the bottom edge to be folded to the side and to permit the louver to pass therethrough;
• said top panel edges having joined portions and an unjoined portion, said joined portions being formed by joining said top panel edges of said front and back panels, said joined portions forming shoulders adapted to hang said cover on said vertical louver, said unjoined portion having sufficient width to permit passage of the hanging means therethrough;
• and
• said bottom edge of said front and back panels being joined;
• and a cover for said horizontal apparatus.

A vertical louver blind comprising:

• an oblong piece of material, folded in half lengthwise into a front panel and a back panel, each panel having a top edge, a bottom edge, an inner side edge and an outer side edge, the front and back panels having sufficient length and width to form the vertical louver;
• said front and back panels being joined along their outer side edges to form a sleeve, said panels having an unjoined zone along at least one of said side edges near said bottom edge;
• said top edges having joined portions and an unjoined portion, said joined portions being formed by joining said top edges of said front and back panels, said joined portions forming shoulders adapted to hang the vertical louver, said unjoined portion having a width adapted to permit passage of means for hanging the vertical louver;
• said bottom edge of said front and back panels being joined;
• and
• a cross bar which is placed in the top of the louver and which has a slot for insertion of the means for hanging said vertical louver.
