- the cord which preferably is a part of a cord loop 90
- the lever arm 20 will pivot from the position shown in Fig. 13 towards the position in Fig. 12 and thereby the cord will be squeezed further between the either of the walls 485, 486 and the pivot 30, depending on the direction in which the cord is pulled.
- the second assembly member 480 is mounted in a top element 4 it can be moved with respect to the longitudinal direction of the top element 4 by pulling the cord.
- the wall of the U-shaped recess 35 facing the pivot 30 is substantially crescent with a substantially sharp edge on each side of the lever arm 20.
- the locking mechanism of the second assembly member 48 must have a recess or a bore adapted to receive a cord and provide a resistance to the cord when it is pulled and preferably the pull resistance is increased when the cord is pulled.
- the second assembly member 480 is provided with a tubular element substantially extending in the longitudinal direction of the top element 4.
- a cord is pulled through a through- going bore of the tubular element, which hole is slightly smaller than the diameter of the cord in order to obtain a friction between the tubular element and the cord.
- the cord is connected to the second assembly member 480 by means of a ball bearing and a ball mounted on said assembly member 480. The ball is pushed towards the ball bearing by a spring and the cord is guided between the ball and the ball bearing in order to provide the friction required for moving the assembly mem- ber 480.
- the cord When the second assembly member 480 reaches an end position, the cord may be pulled through the through-going bore or between the ball bearing and the spring loaded ball, which provides for a flexible positioning of the handle 10.
- the tilt assembly 460 of a screening arrangement 1 is operated by means of handle 10 positioned on a side rail 8, 9 as shown in Figs. 1-4, it is desirable with a flexible positioning of the handle 10 on the side rails 8, 9.

- Fig. 5 When the cord loop 90 of the is pulled and the second assembly member 480 moves, pin 25 of lever arm 20 will eventually reach one of said end stop pins 492, 494.
- the pin 25 of the lever arm 20 protrudes in a recess 30 on the lower side 482 of the second assembly member 480. Therefore when the lever arm 20 reaches an end stop pin 492, 494 the second assembly member reaches an end position. Pulling the cord loop 90 further towards an end stop pin 492, 494 will pivot the lever arm 20 to a position as shown in Fig. 5 and 13. In this position the cord loop 90 is only slightly squeezed by the lever arm 20 and the second assembly member 480 is stopped in an end position until the cord loop 90 is pulled in another direction. Hence, the pins 492, 494 define respective end positions for the movement of the second assembly member 480.
- the cord loop 90 can be pulled further by means of the handle 10 without moving the second assembly member 480. Thereby it is possible to move the handle 10 further in the same direction after the second assembly member 480 has reached an end position and thereby adjust the position of the handle 10 in order to fit the operating position to the individual user.
- the cord loop 90 is provided by a cord having its two end connected to the handle 10 of the screening arrangement.

- a second part of the cord loop connected to the tilt assembly 460 extends in the longitudinal direction of the top element 4 and takes a turn at a cord loop wheel 95 and in said transmission.
- the use of a cord loop 90 divided in two parts may provide for a facilitated installation of the screening arrangement 1 and the use of a transmission with a gearing makes it possible to further adjust the relation between a movement of the handle 10 and the rotation of the slats 80.
- a screening arrangement 1 comprises two or more tilt assemblies 460, which must operate on the tilt cords 81 simultaneously.
- the tilt assemblies 460 are connected with a cord loop 90, which on the other hand is connected to the tilt assemblies 460 with a lever arm 20 functioning as described above, the operating position of the tilt assemblies 460 will automatically be synchronised as the handle 10 is moved along the side rail 9.

- Figs. 15A-15E illustrate how the pins 473, 474 of the rotatory wheel 470 engage with the tracks 483, 484 of the second assembly member 480 in a preferred embodiment.
- the position of the tilt assembly shown in Fig. 15A corresponds to an end position wherein the slats 81 of the screening device are tilted to an almost upright position wherein a screening surface of the slats 80 substantially are facing the aperture to be screened.
- the second pin 474 engages with the second track 484, but the rotatory wheel 470 is in a position wherein the first pin 473 does not engage with the first track 483.
- the walls of the tracks 483, 484 may in all positions apply a force to a least one the pins 473, 474 and thereby a counter-clockwise rotation of the rotatory wheel 470 is obtained.
- the position of the rotatory wheel 470 shown in Fig. 15D is of special interest with respect to the preferred embodiment of the inven- tion.
- the second pin 474 is in a position wherein the second track 484 alone cannot apply a force to the second pin 474 in order to further rotate the rotatory wheel 470 in the counter-clockwise direction.
- the first track 483 can still apply a force to the first pin 473 in order move the second pin 474 beyond the position of Fig. 15D, which corresponds to a rotation of approximately 120 degrees.
- the tracks 483, 484 and the end po- sitions of the tilt assembly 460 is adapted to provide a transmission between the handle 10 and the rotation of the slats so that if the handle 10 is moved approximately 10 centimetre along the side rail 9, the slats 80 are tilted 180 degrees.
- the tracks 483, 484 can take many other shapes, which may provide for different angular velocities of the slats when moving the handle 10 along the side rail 9.
- the tracks 483, 484 it is for example possible to design the tracks 483, 484 so that the handle 10 more easily can be used for fine tuning the tilt of the slats 80, when they are in a position as shown in Figs. 1-4, and when the slats 80 are tilted to a full screening position even a relatively small movement of the handle 10, will result is a relatively large rotation of the slats 80.
- a further aspect of the preferred embodiment is the position of the first and second pins 473, 474 of the rotatory member 470 with respect to each other and with respect to how they are positioned in the end positions shown in Fig. 15A and 15E.
- the pins 473, 474 are positioned on the upper surface 475 of the rotatory wheel 470 adjacent to the edge and they separated 90 degrees with re- spect to the axis of rotation.
- the tracks 483, 484 of the second assembly member is designed so that the tracks 483, 484 do not cross each other. If the tracks 483, 484 cross each, the operation of the tilt assembly 460 may be less smooth, because the pins 473, 474 may get stuck is such a cross-section of the tracks 483, 484.
- the position of the first pin 473 may for instance be rotated 15 degrees with respect to the adjacent first and second sidewalls 495, 497, respectively, as shown in the end positions of Fig. 15A and 15E, and the two pins 473, 474 are separated by 90 degrees. This is further illustrated the angle a in Fig. 11, which corresponds to the end position of Fig. 15A.
- the separation of the pins 473, 474 by 90 degrees provides for an more even rotation of the first assembly member 470, because either of the tracks 483, 484 is able to contribute with a force to the pins 473, 474 in all positions of the first assembly member 470, when the second assembly member 480 is moved between its end positions corresponding to the end positions of the slats 81, and in most positions both tracks 483, 484 will apply a force to the pins 473, 474 and thereby contribute to a smooth rotation.
- a similar transmission and engagement between the first as- sembly member 470 and the second assembly member 480 may be achieved by providing the second assembly member 480 with a plurality of pins or protrusions and the rotatory wheel 470 with a plurality of tracks or recesses adapted to engage with the pins or protrusions of the second assembly member 480.
- the first assembly member is shaped as a wheel.
- the first assembly member 470 can take many other shapes than a wheel in order to provide a connection between the tilt cords 81 and the second assembly member 480.
