Title:
DUAL PANEL SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING THE PASSAGE OF LIGHT THROUGH ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004113661
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
A transparent/translucent panel system (160) including two spaced flat panels (162, 164) and a series of elongated, abutting, rotatably mounted transparent/translucent light-controlling members disposed between the panels (162, 164) in which the light-controlling members (166) are at least partially tubular or have annular members along their length to facilitate rotation of the light-controlling members (166) and include a light-blocking surface whereby differently sized light-controlling members (166) may be used and the light-controlling members (166), when rotated by a simple drive mechanism, can vary the light passing through the panel system (160) from clear to opaque and can effectively block light between adjacent light-controlling members (166). The light-controlling members (166) may include an insulating material to enhance control of thermal and sound transmission.
