Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a variable horizontal blind which is called a venetian blind in which a plurality of horizontal slats are aligned vertically in parallel with each other at given distances, and all the slats are made to rise and fall by means of a vertically moving cord to perform the open/close operation of the blind.
  • a venetian blind in which a plurality of horizontal slats are aligned vertically in parallel with each other at given distances, and all the slats are made to rise and fall by means of a vertically moving cord to perform the open/close operation of the blind.
  • the variable horizontal blind performs the open/close operation of the blind by allowing all the slats to go up and down by means of the vertically moving cord, and the slats are ti Ited in a state that the blind is closed, that is, the slats are shut, thereby making the slats in an open state and in a close state to adjust the light shielding.
  • the slats aligned in the vertical direction are supported at given intervals by ladder support cords to allow the front and rear vertical portions of the support cords to relatively go up and down.
  • This blind is constituted in such a manner that a member for picking the vertical portion of a support cord is fixed to the vertical portion of the support cord between a slat positioned at a desired level and the front or rear side edge, thereby bringing the respective side edges of both slats in close contact with each other.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a variable horizontal blind which is capable of making the upper or lower side of the slats arranged toward the vertical direction in an open state or in a close state with simple operation.
  • variable horizontal blind of a type that a plurality of slats which are aligned in a vertical direction are supported at given intervals by at least a pair of ladder support cords, and a front vertical portion and a rear vertical portion of said support cords are relatively moved up and down to allow said slats to tilt, characterized in that a lower end of a lifting cord is fixed to said support cords in the vicinity of a front edge or a rear edge of a specified one of said slats, which is determined arbitrarily.
  • the lower end of the lifting cord may be fixed to the support cords in the vicinity of a front edge and a rear edge of a specified one of the slats, which is determined arbitrarily.
  • one end of a lifting cord is fixed to an upper box on or in the vicinity of an upper end side of any one of a front vertical portion and a rear vertical portion of a support cord located on one side in the lateral direction among said support cords, cord guides movably hook said lifting cord are fitted to each of said support cords in the vicinity of a front edge and a rear edge of a specified one of said slats which are determined arbitrarily and to said upper box in the vicinity of the upper end side of any one of the front vertical portion and the rear vertical portion of said support cord on the other side in the lateral direction, and said lifting cord is successively hooked on from said cord guides fitted to each of said support cords to said cord
  • one ends of said lifting cords are fixed to said upper box on or in the vicinity of the upper end side of the front vertical portion and the rear vertical portion of a support cord located on one side in the lateral direction among said support cords; cord guides on which said lifting cord is hooked are disposed on each of said support cords in the vicinity of the front edge portion and the rear edge portion of a specified one of said slats which is determined arbitrarily, and on said upper box in the vicinity of the upper end side of the front vertical portion and the rear vertical direction of a support cord located on the other side in the lateral direction; and said lifting cord is hooked on from said cord guide located on each of said support cords to said cord guide located on said upper box.
  • the lifting cord may pass through-holes for insertion of a vertically moving cord, which are defined in the slats disposed above where the lifting cord is fixed to.
  • a lower end of a lifting cord is fixed to the support cord in the vicinity of a front edge or a rear edge of a specified one of the slats, which is determined arbitrarily.
  • the lower end of the lifting cord is fixed to the support cord in the vicinity of the front edge and the rear edge of a specified one of the slats which is determined arbitrarily so that, when the slats stand in the close state, if one lifting cord is lifted, the support cord positioned below where the lower end of the lifting cord is fixed is lifted, and with such operation, the slats fixed to the support cord positioned below that portion are tilted thereby coming into the open state.
  • one end of a lifting cord is fixed to an upper box on or in the vicinity of an upper end side of any one of a front vertical portion and a rear vertical portion of a support cord located on one side in the lateral direction among the support cords, cord guides movably hook the lifting cord are fitted to each of the support cords in the vicinity of a front edge and a rear edge of a specified one of the slats which are determined arbitrarily and to the upper box in the vicinity of the upper end side of any one of the front vertical portion and the rear vertical portion of the support cord on the other side in the lateral direction, and the lifting cord is successively hooked on from said cord guides fitted to each of the support cords to said cord
  • one ends of the lifting cords are fixed to the upper box on or in the vicinity of the upper end side of the front vertical portion and the rear vertical portion of a support cord located on one side in the lateral direction among the support cords; cord guides on which the lifting cord is hooked are disposed on each of the support cords in the vicinity of the front edge portion and the rear edge portion of a specified one of the slats which is determined arbitrarily, and on the upper box in the vicinity of the upper end side of the front vertical portion and the rear vertical direction of a support cord located on the other side in the lateral direction; and the lifting cord is hooked on from the cord guide located on each of the support cords to the cord guide located on the upper box.
  • the lifting cord is allowed to pass the through-holes for insertion of the vertically moving cord, which are defined in the slats located above that fixed portion, whereby when the slats stands in the open state, if the lifting cord is lifted, the edge of the slats is tilted to the nearly vertical state, thereby obtaining a good close state.
  • Figs. 1 to 4 show a variable horizontal blind in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, and in the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an upper box; 2, laddersupport cords; 3, a plurality of slats supported at given intervals in the vertical direction by the support cords 2.
  • the front and rear edges of these slats 3 are fixed to front and rear vertical portions 2a and 2b of the support cords 2, respectively, in such a manner that the front and rear vertical portions 2a and 2b are relatively moved up and down, thereby allowing the slats 3 to tilt so as to come into an open state or in a close state to adjust light shielding.
  • Reference numeral 12 denotes a lower box; 4, vertically moving cords for performing the open/close operation of the blind by making all the slats 3 move vertically; and 5, through-holes defined in the slats 3 for insertion of the vertically moving cords.
  • variable horizontal blind is not fundamentally different from that of the conventional variable horizontal blind. Therefore, a means for operating the front vertical portion 2a and the rear vertical portion 2b of the support cords 2 for supporting the slats 3 and for allowing the slats 3 to tilt, and a means for operating the vertically moving cord 4 for rising and/or falling all he slats 3 are identical with those of the conventional variable horizontal blind, and therefore these operating means are omitted in Fig.1.
  • Reference numeral 6 denotes lifting cords whose number depends upon the number of the support cords 2, and an lower end of each lifting cord 6 is fixed onto the front vertical portion 2a or the rear vertical portion 2b of each of the support cords 2 in the vicinity of the front or rear edge of a specified one of the slats 3, which is determined arbitrarily.
  • the lower end of each support cord 2 may be directly fixed to the portions 2a or 2b by binding or the like, or it may be detachably fixed thereto through a fixed member 7 such as a fixed ring or the like.
  • Each of the lifting cords 6 is put around each pulley 8 disposed on the upper box 1 in the vicinity of the upper end of each support cord 2 in such a manner that ends of the lifting cords 6 are taken out of one side of the upper box 1 so as to be hung, and the portion thus hung constitutes a pulling member (Fig. 1).
