Abstract

A folding blind rod for a folding blind to be arranged in hose-like, horizontally extending webs of a folding blind, wherein the folding blind rod has several separating points, particularly intended breaking points, provided along the length of the folding blind rod. A tongue-like extension is integrally connected to one end of the folding blind rod. The tongue-like extension has a pin extending transversely of the axis of the folding blind rod. A bore each having an axis extending transversely of the axis of the folding blind rod is provided laterally of each separating point and also at the other end of the folding blind rod. The cross-sections of the bores and pins are constructed so as to correspond to each other.

Description

~LDING BLIND E~l)l) ~ACl~;~RQuNl~ QP T~ iv~l ~ON

1~ ~ield ~ ~h~ ~n~en~ion The pre~ent invention ~el~te~ to ~ ro~ ~or a ~oldin~ blind to be arran~ed in. hose-like, horizon~ally exten~ing we~ o~ a ~ol~ing ~lin~.
2. ~escription of the R~l~ted Art Foldin~ blinds or shade~ So be used at windows are know~ in the art. Such fol~ing blin~s ~r6 compo~ed of a T.n~terial web which extends ~ver the height an~ wid~.h of th~ window. This m~terial we~ i~ with i.~s upper e~ge secllred in the lintel ar~ of the window. As a ~ule, hv~izv~t~lly extending, hose-like rib~ons which extend over the width of the folding blind are arrang~.d with e~ual ~e~ic~l spacing~ on the ~ide faciny the window.
These rib~on~ m~y be co~pone~t.~ whlch a~e manufactured separ~tely, preferably o~ rihbon weaving ma~hines, which ~e su~sequently sewn ~o th~ m~ri.~l ~eb~ However, i~ is also possible to pl~e the ~at~ial web a~ the afor~men~io~ed vertical ~pa~ing~ into ho~e-like f~ld~ and to ~ew the folds together.

The~e ho~e-] i~c~3 horl2:0ntal. rih~on~ or ~o~ds ~erv~ t~ re~eive the ~olding blind rods which extend o~re~ ~he width o~ the folding blind. Pu11 ~t~in~s for rai~ing ~nd lowering the ~oldin~ blind are provided ~t le~s~ at the ver~ical ed~e~ of the folding ~lind.
When pulling up ~he f~ ing blind, ~he material web is fol~ecl into horizontal folds whoQe ~ize depends on the vertical dixtances b~ween two suc~e~ive foldin~ bli.n~ r~

Met~1 r~ils, pre~erably ~f alum~rluln, o~ ro~s o~ syn~he~ic material are u~ed a~ folding blind rods. Since the ~oldin~
blind~ have ver~ erent widths, the rnetal r~ils mu~t be cu~ tn length to correspond to the witl~h of the fol~ling blin~. 1'he~e metal r~ils are ~rai1~le ~or ~ale a~ long rod m~terial, so th~t cutting the r~ds to t:he reguired size re.~ults in ~ stan~
m~terial cu~ti.~s and, thus, in w~ste~

The rods of synthetic material, which usu~lly have a smaller cro~ ~ection th~r~ the nletal r~ails, are In~ufactured a~ endle~
r2~ nd wou~d o~o a reel . They are pulled f rom ~che reel ~y ~he de~ired length and th~n Ctlt. However, the me~ns a~rail~le i.n a hou~ehold a~e no~ ~ufficien~ for c~pletely re~ersi~g the cur~a~u~e p~ede~rmined by the ~eel, ~o that these r~ turn ~u~
cu~red which ~e~atively a~ects ~he appearanc~e o~ the folding blind .

5U~M~Y OF T~ 1NYh~L1ON

Theref~re, ~arting f~o~ ~he prior art discuxsed above, i.t is the prim~ry object of ~he pr~e~t invçntion to avoid th~
di~dvanta~e~ mentioned a~ove and to propose a foldi~g blin~ ro~
which can be ~old in lengths which can be ea~ily manipulated, which is ~raight and which can be ~djusted ~o any ~e~i~ed and required leng~h pr~c~ically withou~ waste and withou~ requ~rin~
~pe~ial ~ools.

1~ accordanc~ wi.th the pr~ent invention, ~h~ foldin~ blind ~od h~ se~eral separating points, parti~ularly in~ended hreaking points, provi~ed ~long the lengtn of the f~ldin~ blin~ rod. A
tongue~ e exten~ion ;~ integrally connec~ed ~o one end of ~e folding ~lind rod~ The ton~ue-like exten~ion h~s a pin ext:ending trans~erse~y of the axis of ~he folding blind rod. A bore each having an axi~ extending transver~ely of the ~xi~ of ~he fol~in~
blind rod i~ provided la~er~ly of e~ç~l ~ep~r~ting point ~nd also ~t the other en~ of ~he ~oldlng blin~ ~od. The cro~s-section~ of the borPs and pins ~re constructed s~ as t~ correspo~d to e~h other.

The variou~ fea~.u~es of no~elt.y which characterize the .in~ention are p~in~ed ou~ with par~i~ulari~y in the ~laims ~nnexed to and forming a p~r~ of ~he disclosure. For a ~etter under~t~n~in~ o~ the invention, it~ ope~ting a~-v~n~ages, spe~ifi~ o~ec~s ~ ined by i~s use, re~erence ~hould ~e had to the dxawin~ ~n~ de~cripti~re matte.r in which there are illust~ate~
