2. A movable cover or screen for a window, designed to shut out the light, to obstruct the view, or to be of some strength as a defense; a blind. [1913 Webster]

3. A removable cover, or a gate, for closing an aperture of any kind, as for closing the passageway for molten iron from a ladle. [1913 Webster]

4. (Photog.) A mechanical device of various forms, attached to the aperture of a camera lens for opening and closing to expose the plate.
