Abstract

Apparatus (10) for use in the manufacture of roller blinds includes means (9,9a) for mounting and rotating one or more roller blind tubes (11), means (7) for aligning the fabric (3a) and means (13,13a) for cutting the fabric (3a) to a desired width. Each of these means is arranged in a fix angular arrangement with respect to the other. The mounting means (9,9a) are adjustable to accommodate roller blind tubes (11) of different lengths and the width cutting means (13,13a) are adjustable also. Preferably an adjustable width cutting means (13,13a) and an adjustable mounting means (9,9a) are mounted on a common bracket (23) for adjustment in a single step.
