Self Acting Spring, Flange End, Cap and Rack
Self Acting Spring
For use when the cloth has to be held under tension in sloping windows or velux type rooflights. The spring is not held by ratchets so the blind is held in position by tying off to cleats. Pulleys are sometimes needed to guide the cords.
Flange End
Is the traditional equivalent of the easi-roll. A flange is fitted to the end of the roller around which the cord is wound. Releasing the cord (gently) allows the blind to drop by gravity. Pulling the cord raises the blind and it is secured in position by tying off to a cleat
Cap and Rack
A period system still used for long drop windows in National Trust properties. The blind is drawn down against the spring with a normal centre draw cord. The ratchet is on the end of the roller. A cam on the roller is attached to a cord that drops at the side of the blind. Pulling the cord releases the ratchet to allow the blind to raise. The centre cord should also be held so that the blind does not fly up cartoon character style.
These blinds do not have looped cords and are suitable for childrens rooms
