Problems: The pawl in the cap action is permanently in contact with the
rack as the blind is drawn down, causing clicking noise and resultant wear
in the mechanism. The second problem is when allowing the blind to rise,
the side release cord must be held until it has come to stop. If the cord is
released, the pawl will engage the rack at speed which leads to damage of
the mechanism.
Operation: The blind is drawn by pulling on the centre cord until the
required position is reached (holding down the side release cord during
this procedure is recommended). To raise the blind the side release cord is
pulled allowing the spring to roll the blind up and stop when the cord can
be released. When raising and lowering the blind both cords must be held
to guide the fabric.
Construction: A metal barrel is fitted with nylon end blocks and contains
a helical coil spring. The action has a polished brass cap (always mounted
on the right hand side of a normal roller blind) containing the rack and
pawl lever both in steel.

Way of Roll
Listed below is the standard range of
finishes, trims and pull cords. Please note
that the way of roll will always be assumed
as A unless otherwise stated.
Shaped Blinds
To accommodate shaped openings such as
arched heads or triangular roof panels, in
many cases blinds can be tailored to fit.
Certain Shapes require stiffening ribs to be
included in the blind fabric to hold it in
position. The following diagrams indicate
some of the shapes that can be achieved.
