| 20130025799 | GLASS-ENCLOSED CHAMBER AND INTERNAL VENETIAN BLIND HAVING SLATS OF IMPROVED REFLECTANCE AND DIFFUSIVITY OVER A WIDER SPECTRAL INTERVAL OF INCIDENT SOLAR RADIATION - Inside a glass-enclosed chamber is a Venetian blind connected to internal elements for operating it, the elements being workable from outside to raise, lower and incline the slats. The raw slats of the blind are obtained by moulding a rolled strip of aluminium alloy hardened by magnesium.
