Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Technical Field This invention relates to a storage structure for repair slats in a horizontal blind.

Prior Art Horizontal blinds have a large number of slats suspended from a head box fixed to the upper frame of a window via ladder cords, and the slats are usually made of thin aluminum plates. Such slats may be bent, bent, twisted, etc. due to wind pressure from outside the window or problems during lifting and lowering. Therefore, when the slats were damaged as described above, it was necessary to separately order and replace the slats for repair.

Purpose The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks when repairing conventional horizontal blinds, and to store repair slats in the head box of the blind in advance, so that if the slats are damaged, the repair slats can be used. To provide a horizontal blind which can be repaired quickly and which can prevent dust from entering into a head box by the housed repair slats.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the structure of the invention is such that a repair slat is housed in a groove-shaped head box with an open top so as to close the opening.

Embodiment An embodiment embodying this invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. A horizontal blind 1 has a ladder cord 3 suspended from a head box 2 fixed to the upper frame of a window, the ceiling, etc. A large number of slats 4 are supported by the ladder cord 3.
A bottom rail 5 is suspended and supported at the lowest stage. By rotating the operating rod 6 hanging down from one side of the head box 2, the angle of each slat 4 is adjusted in the same phase via the angle adjustment shaft (not shown) in the head box 2 and the ladder cord 3. It is becoming more and more common.

On the other hand, a lifting cord 8 is inserted into a plurality of through holes 7 provided in each slat 4, and one end of the lifting cord 8 is latched to the bottom rail 5, and the other end passes through the head box 2 and connects to the operating rod. It is hanging near 6. Then, if the bottom rail 5 is raised or lowered by operating the lifting cord 8,
As the bottom rail 5 moves up and down, each slat 4
are now being raised and lowered.

The head box 2 has a groove shape with an open upper part, and the open part is provided with a through hole 7 having the same shape as the slat 4, that is, the same size, the same color, and the same shape.
A repair slat 9 having a plurality of slats 9 is housed therein. The details of the storage structure will be explained with reference to FIG. 2. Two upper and lower locking protrusions 10 are provided facing each other at the upper ends of both sides of the groove-shaped head box 2. Both side edges of two or three repair slats 9 are inserted and supported. As shown in FIG. 1, caps 11 are usually fitted to both ends of the head box 2 in which the repair slat 9 is housed.

Now, in the horizontal blind 1 constructed as described above, when the slats 4 supported by the ladder cord 3 are damaged due to some kind of accident, the head box 2 can be removed from the window frame etc., and the lifting cord 8 can be connected to each slat 4. Remove the damaged slat 4 from the ladder cord 3. Then, the cap 11 at one end of the head box 2 is removed, a desired number of slats 9 for repair are taken out from the slats 9 stored in the head box 2, and the damaged slats 4 are replaced. After this, the lifting cord 8 is connected to each slat 4 again.
When the head box 2 is fixed to a window frame or the like by inserting it through the slat 4, the repair of the damaged slat 4 is completed.

Therefore, even if the slats 4 of this horizontal blind 1 are damaged due to some kind of accident, there is no need to separately order slats for repair, and the slats 9 for repair stored in the head box 2 can be taken out and damaged. Slats can be quickly replaced.

Further, since the repair slat 9 is stored so as to close the upper opening of the groove-shaped head box 2, the repair slat 9 can prevent dust from entering the head box 2 when the repair slat 9 is stored.

In addition, the lifting cord 8 is attached to the repair slat 9.
Although a through hole 7 is provided through which the repair slat 9 is inserted, it may be stored without the through hole 7 provided.In this case, the through hole 7 may be provided after the repair slat 9 is taken out from the head box 2. good.

Effects As detailed above, this invention prevents damage to some of the slats of horizontal blinds by storing repair slats in a groove-shaped head box with an open top so as to close the opening. If the repair slat is stored in the head box in advance, it can be quickly repaired, and since the repair slat is stored so as to close the opening of the head box, the repair slat can be used to enter the head box. It has an excellent effect of preventing dust from entering.
