Abstract

A venetian blind assembly is described, for use in a glazed door having a rectangular window insert mounted therein and forming a primary glazing. In the improved assembly a rectangular frame is provided with a secondary glazing mounted within the rectangular frame, and a venetian blind mounted completely within the frame so as to be between the primary and secondary glazings when the assembly is secured to the door. Holding clips engage the exterior of the rectangular frame and are held in place by screws which are engaged in holes used for the securing of the rectangular window frame insert into the main door body of the door. Alternatively, an additional frame may be secured to the door around the window insert of the door and the double glazed unit with the venetian blind therein may be held to this additional frame by means of snap-on clips.
