Abstract
A carrier is designed for holding and independently adjusting a hanging vertical louver. A plurality of carriers form a blind for creating privacy and modifying the amount of light transmitted through a window and into a room. The carriers are movable along the channels of an overhead rail which is installed at the top of the window casement. The louvers can be oscillated in a synchronized manner by rotating a splined shaft running through each carrier. Each carrier provides for adjustment of its supported louver to allow the face of the louver to be independently adjusted and reset vis-a-vis the window and the other louvers. There is another adjustment spacer for allowing the plurality of carriers, and therefore louvers, to be evenly spaced in a window casement having a non-standard width. The louver is securely but demountably attached to the carrier by a pendant member having a resilient pair of fingers. The pendant member allows the louver to hang vertically even when the headrail is not installed level.
