Abstract

The invention relates to a blind assembly comprising a blind web (11) which is provided with one respective flexible, flat guide strip (10) along both lateral edge areas. Said guide strip (10) is guided inside a guide along the direction of extension of the blind in order to stretch the blind web. The base of the guide strip (10) is guided parallel to adjacent areas of the blind web. The inventive blind assembly further comprises at least one blind coupling with which at least one of the guide strips engages in a removable, positive manner via an entraining element (12) and via which the guide strip can be extended along with the blind web.
