Who is the inventor of blinds?

Louvres are a style of window. Blinds originated in China. In ancient Chinese architecture, there were mullioned windows, which were used in all eras from the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty. Those with straight bars are called straight lattice windows, and those with horizontal bars are called horizontal lattice windows. Horizontal lattice windows are an original style of blinds, and can also be said to be the original state of blinds. By the Ming Dynasty, horizontal lattice windows had developed greatly. Various mullion windows were made on brick towers in the Song Dynasty. Horizontal mullion windows were also made on brick towers in the Ming Dynasty. There are many examples, which are the predecessors of shutters.

Originally, they were called horizontal lattice windows. Later, during the development, the ancient horizontal lattice windows were called blinds. The development of blinds in our country has a history of six to seven hundred years. So why do foreign countries have blinds? Why do America have

blinds? This question remains to be explored. One possibility is that it was spread from China to foreign countries, and foreigners entered

China saw that China had shutters, and they were inspired to make shutters; the second possibility is that they are from different countries

< It is entirely possible that people with the same wisdom can all produce high-quality blinds at the same time.

In fact, when making window lattice, they are mainly used for ventilation and fresh air. As for the window lattice, there are of course nothing more than

several styles, either horizontal or vertical. Then the horizontal strips are the prototype of the blinds. Strictly speaking,

There is one difference between horizontal lattice windows and blinds, that is, horizontal lattice windows are arranged in parallel and the gaps are transparent. The shutter window lattice is made obliquely.

The lattice is invisible from inside and outside in the horizontal direction. It can only be seen when looking at the oblique plane.

But modern blinds were invented by an American named John Hampson and he obtained a patent for the invention on August 21, 1841
