Sealed double glazed window with slat blind

摘要

A mechanism for adjusting the tilt angle of slats (18) of a slat blind (17) positioned between the panes of glass (13, 14) of a sealed window unit is described. The mechanism is sealed about an aperture (31) through one of the panes (13) and includes a flexible cable (51) within a flexible tube (45) extending from the mechanism to the control mechanism for the blind (17). The flexible tube (45) maintains the window seal and the cable (51) enables torque to be transmitted from the mechanism to the tilt control mechanism of the blind (17), thereby allowing direct external mechanical control of the tilt angle of the slats (18) without breaking the hermetic seal for the window.
