Abstract

The invention relates to a shutter or bfind arrangement for mounting adjacent a window (16) or door. The arrangement has multiple elongate parallel slats (12) which are juxtaposed to form together a planar window screen and which are inclined, or which are mounted for rotation and able to be inclined, to the plane of the window screen, providing openings (13) between the slats for passage of light A sheet (18) arranged alongside the window screen covers the area of the window screen, so that when the arrangement is mounted for use the sheet is interposed between the window screen and the window or door. The sheet is provided with a peripheral seal, and provides a barrier to passage of air through the shutter or blind arrangement.

Claims (14)

1. A shutter or blind arrangement for mounting adjacent a window or door, the arrangement comprising multiple elongate parallel slats which are juxtaposed to form together a planar window screen and which are inclined, or which are mounted for rotation and able to be inclined, to the plane of the window screen, providing openings between the slats for passage of light, and a sheet arranged alongside the window screen to cover the area of the window screen, so that when the arrangement is mounted for use the sheet is able to be interposed between the window screen and the window or door, the sheet being provided with a peripheral seal, and providing a barrier to passage of air through the shutter or blind arrangement.
2. A shutter or blind arrangement as claimed in claim 1 in which the sheet is transparent or translucent.
3. A shutter or blind arrangement as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2 in which the sheet is retractable.
4. A shutter or blind arrangement as claimed in claim 3 which the sheet takes the form of a roller blind .
5. A shutter or blind arrangement as claimed in claim 3 or claim 4 in which the peripheral seal comprises at least one channel which receives an edge of the sheet and embraces it to form a seal, the sheet being able to slide with respect to the channel to enable retraction of the sheet.
6. A shutter as claimed in claim 5 in which the channel contains a brush seal or an elastomeric seal.
7. A shutter or blind arrangement as claimed in claim 5 in which the sheet has left and right edges received in respective channels, the arrangement further comprising a bottom channel in which a bottom edge of the sheet is releasably and sealingly receivable when the sheet is fully extended.
8. A shutter or blind arrangement as claimed in any preceding claim in which the slats are mounted within a frame and the peripheral seal is formed between the sheet and the frame.
9. A shutter or blind arrangement as claimed in claim 8 in which the frame is configured to be hingedly mounted at the window or door and is provided with a frame seal on its outer periphery to seal against a surrounding structure.
10. A shutter or blind arrangement as claimed in claim 8 or claim 9 in which the frame comprises elongate hollow plastics frame members joined through right-angled corner couplings which are received in the frame members.
11. A shutter or blind arrangement as claimed in any preceding claim in which the sheet is a flexible membrane.
12. A shutter or blind arrangement as claimed in any preceding claim in which the sheet is carried on a roller arrangement and an edge of the sheet which extends parallel to the roller arrangement is configured to be secured at the top of a window or door, so that in use the sheet forms a "U" formation between the roller arrangement and said edge of the sheet.
13. A shutter or blind arrangement further comprising a bottom bar configured to be disposed in the "U" formation of the sheet and to be rotatable when so disposed, so that the bottom bar tends to maintain the sheet's "U" formation .
14. A blind arrangement for mounting adjacent a window or door, the blind arrangement comprising a transparent or translucent flexible sheet carried on a roller arrangement mountable at the top of the window or door; means for securing an edge of the flexible sheet which extends parallel to the roller arrangement at the top of the window or door, so that between the roller arrangement and said edge the flexible sheet is able to form a "U" formation; a bottom bar receivable in the "U" formation of the sheet in such a manner as to be rotatable as the blind is raised or lowered using the roller arrangement.
