The Slide Blind is a replacement for traditional spectacle blinds that makes the blinding process easier. It requires the operator to simply loosen the studs outside the slide section, slide the blind in and out, and retighten the studs. Key features include that the blind does not need to be removed for blanking, it allows the blind to slide between open and closed positions, and gaskets can remain in place and be accessed by sliding out the blind. The Slide Blind is approved, patented, and available in standard sizes up to 24 inches.
