Builder's hardware; a manual for architects, builders and house furnishers . Excelsior Russel. Fig. 251. Washburns Blind-adjuster. B. D. Washburn. Figure 250 is a very simple form of bar blind-adjuster, thebar being attached to the blind, and held in position by theaction of the thumb-screw on the jamb; Figure 251showsa variation of the same principle, consisting of a bar which SH UTTE H-FIXTURES. fits into the sockets at several points on the sill, enabling theblind to be held in several different positions. The action ofthe adjuster will readily be understood by the figure. Zimmer-mans Blind-fast is on practically the same principle as this. The difficulty with the two foregoing patterns is, that theydo not hold the blind perfectly rigid, and the rods are likely toget in the way, specially as the rods and sockets take up consid-erable space on the sill. There is but little practical advantagein having a fixture which permits of the blind being open atvarious degrees, for, as a rule, most people prefer to have theirblinds either entirely open or entirely shut.
