Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a Venetian blind to be mounted in a window casement or window frame, comprising a channelled suspension rail arranged horizontally at the top and mounting the operating mechanism of the blind, and two vertical guide rails for the slats of the blind, mounted one at each side and forming a support for the bottom of the suspension rail of the associated end thereof.
  • a Venetian blind of this kind is disclosed in US-A-3,136,357 wherein the suspension rail is positively engaged with the guide rails at both ends by means of screws.
  • the primary object of the invention is to provide a Venetian blind of the kind referred to above which can be mounted easily to the window casement or the window frame by connecting the guide rails to the side sections of the casement or frame and then connecting the suspension rail to the upper ends of the guide rails.
  • US-A-2,188,639 discloses a suspension rail the ends of which are provided with manually adjustable end extensions for positive engagement with a respective bracket supporting the suspension rail at one end and the other thereof.
  • a further object of the invention is to make possible that this mounting can be performed by anybody without any skill in the art so that the Venetian blind can be manufactured by the manufacturer in accordance with the width and height of the window and can be delivered to the purchaser as a kit to be mounted to the casement or frame by the purchaser in a simple manner.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide a Venetian blind of the kind referred to above which can easily be dismounted from the window casement or window frame when it is desired to clean the window or to repair the casement or frame.
  • the Venetian blind of the invention shown therein is mounted in a window casement 10 and comprises a suspension rail 11 consisting of a U-shaped channel open at each end thereof, from which the slats 12 are suspended by means of ladder cords 13.
  • a conventional operating mechanism 14 for adjusting the slats between substantially horizontal and vertical positions and tilted positions therebetween is mounted in the suspension rail 11 and is connected to an operating bar 15 detachably mounted in fittings 16 on the window casement.
  • the operating bar can be disengaged from the operating mechanism at a connection 17.
  • a pull cord 18 is provided in the usual manner for stacking the slats from the lowermost slat upwardly as is well known in the art.
  • a two-pane insulating window 19 is mounted to the window casement 10.
  • the Venetian blind is mounted at the inner side of the window, the slats 12 being guided by means of two vertical guide rails 20 of L-formed cross-sectional form, which are connected to the window casement 10 by means of nails 21 in a groove 22 formed by the casement.
  • the guide rails can also be mounted by means of screws or self-adhesive tape.
  • the suspension rail 11 is connected to the upper ends of the two guide rails 20 in a manner to be described in more detail with reference to Figs. 3 to 11.
  • a latch slide 26 comprises a double-folded thin metal sheet which fits between the upright sides of the suspension rail 11 and straddles the web of the rail.
  • a rivet 27 passes through the slide and through a slot 28 in the web of the suspension rail 11, and the latch slide 26 is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the suspension rail within the limits defined by the rivet 27 and the slot 28, between an off position according to Fig. 5 in which the latch slide is withdrawn from the projecting portions 23 and 24 of the upright sides of the suspension rail, and a latch position, Fig. 6, in which the latch slide extends between the projecting portions 23 and 24 of the upright sides of the suspension rail and the left end of the slide is flush with the left end of the suspension rail 11.
  • two flaps 29 and 31 are punched from one flange of each guide rail 20 at the upper end thereof, viz. from the flange which is connected to the window casement 10.
  • One flap 29 is folded towards the other flange of the guide rail and defines together with said other flange a narrow elongated opening 30, and the other flap 31 is bent to a horizontal position to form a supporting surface.
  • the supporting rail 11 can be mounted in the horizontal position thereof between the upper ends of the guide rails in a manner to be described below.
  • the-blind including the suspension rail in inserted between the guide rails 20 in a tilted position, the right end of the suspension rail being at a higher level than the left end thereof.
  • the right end of the suspension rail At the right end of the suspension rail one upright side of said rail is inserted into the narrow elongated opening 30 formed by the guide rail 20 mounted to the right section of the window casement, and the web of the suspension rail is engaged with the upper side of the flap 31 of said guide rail.
  • the left end of the suspension rail is swung upwards such that the projecting portion 23 of the upright side of the rail will be inserted into the narrow elongated opening 30 of the left guide rail 20, and when this has been done the suspension rail is locked in this position by the latch slide 26 being displaced to the latch position according to Fig. 6 on the upper side of the flap 31 of the left guide rail.
  • the latching engagement thus provided between the left guide rail and the suspension rail is shown in Figs. 10 and 11.
  • the suspension rail is now securely mounted in the groove 22 between the two guide rails.
  • the mounting of the Venetian blind is completed by connecting the operating mechanism 14 through one open end of the suspension rail 11, to the rod 15 at the connection 17, also the pull cord 18 being passed from the suspension rail through said open end. The blind is then ready for use.
  • the operating rod 15 can be connected to the mechanism 14 through one open end of the suspension rail 11 where also the pull cord 18 is passed from the suspension rail as described above.
  • the groove 22 is considerably deeper, which is not unusual, so that the suspension rail 11 and the guide rails 20 are received in their entirety by the groove as is shown in Fig. 13, it is not possible to connect the operating rod 15 and to pass the pull cord 18 through one end of the suspension rail 11.
  • the Venetian blind is arranged in a suitable manner without the necessity of drilling passages in the window casement 10
  • a rectangular notch 32 in each of the upright sides of the rail said notches being located one opposite to the other adjacent one end of the suspension rail.
  • a conducting piece 33 is arranged formed as is shown in Figs. 14 to 16.
  • the conducting piece 33 comprises a U-shaped plastic body with a web 34 and side flanges 35.
  • the plastic body has on the outside of each side flange a projecting portion 36 and these projecting portions are dimensioned to fit in the notches 32 when the conducting piece is mounted in the suspension rail 11 with the web 34 of the conducting piece resting on the bottom or web of the suspension rail.
  • the side flanges 35 has on the outside thereof also two side recesses 37 to receive therein the flap 29 and the corresponding flap at the opposite side of the suspension rail 11.
  • each of the side flanges 35 of the conducting piece there is provided in the region of the projecting portion 36 a recess with two portions 38 and 39 of different depths, portion 39 having a larger depth than portion 38, the recess being bound by a smoothly curved edge portion 40.
  • the web 34 has on the inner side thereof smoothly curved portions 41 and 42 at the ends of the conducting piece.
  • the operating rod 15 is connected by means of a flexible shaft 43 to the operating mechanism 14, the flexible shaft being extended from the channelled suspension rail 11 at one side thereof through the conducting piece 33, said shaft being passed through portion 38 of the recess in one side flange 35 of the conducting piece.
  • the pull cord 18 is extended from the suspension rail 11 at one side thereof passing through portion 39 of the recess below the flexible shaft 43.
  • the conducting piece 33 thus makes possible that the flexible shaft 43 and the pull cord 18 are extended from the suspension rail 11 at one side or the other of the rail, and also makes possible that the shaft and the pull cord are extended from the end of the suspension rail if this can be done considering the depth of the groove 22.
  • the smoothly curved portions of the conducting piece eliminate the risk of the pull cord being exposed to wear against sharp edges.
