(under subclass 322) Subject matter wherein the modifier includes at least two spaced adjacent modifying means each having at least two plane or curved surfaces of the type generated by a straight or curved line (the "generatrix"); the means so arranged relative to each other that (a) no two of the surfaces are generated by an extension of the same generatrix; (b) one of the surfaces of one means faces one of the surfaces of the adjacent means, and (c) light is able to pass both surfaces of each means and at least one of the surfaces in a direction parallel or tangent to its generatrix, and wherein the means are pivoted either individually or as a unit for angular adjustment or repositioning relative to each other or to a common support.
(1) Note. A "grid" for purposes of classification in this subclass consists of at least two intersecting pairs of louvers.
(2) Note. The two spaced adjacent means of this subclass may be part of the same element as, for example, a U-shaped or spiral louver.
