Description
Fastener for a sunshade The invention relates to a fastener for a sunshade having a gripping part to be secured to an edge rail of a sunshade and a suspension means to be secured to a structural part. The invention also relates to a sunshade having an edge rail and a suspension means to be secured to a structural part.
Blinds are often used as sunshades in glazed balconies to prevent excess solar radiation from entering the balcony. Sunshades are usually fastened to an edge profile of the balcony glazing by means of separate fasteners having a gripping part to be secured to the sunshade and a suspension means to be secured to the edge profile of the balcony glazing.
Patent documents WO 2007/065972, EP 2677109 and Fl 123588 B describe sunshade fasteners comprising a gripping part to be secured to an edge rail of a sunshade and a hook-shaped suspension means to be secured to an edge profile of a glazing. In documents WO 2007/065972 and Fl 123588 B, the suspension means is tightly fitted inside a groove in the edge profile of the glazing, and, in document EP 2677109, the suspension means is tightly fitted around one flank of the groove in the edge profile. The known fasteners are secured to the edge profile by using a tight fit between the suspension means and the edge profile.
This kind of fastening based on a tight fit necessitates that accurately dimensioned fasteners must be available for different profiles. However, manufacturing tolerances and dimensional variances due to thickness variation in the paint layer often result in variation in the width of the groove of the edge profile and of the flank of the groove, making it sometimes hard to secure the fasteners exactly in a desired position on the edge profile, and, the edge profile, or the fastener, may have to be machined. In addition, the fasteners described by the documents, once installed, are not movable in the longitudinal direction of the edge profile.
Therefore, if the fastener is not installed in the right position at one go, the fastener must removed from the edge profile and reinstalled.
Usually, the gripping part of the fastener is first secured to the edge rail of the sunshade, and, then, the suspension means of the fastener is secured to the edge profile of the glazing. Once the rigid fastener is secured to the edge rail, the suspension means thereof is no longer freely pivotable to a desired position.
This is a disadvantage especially where the edge profile of the glazing is located behind a cover strip and where the portion of the edge profile serving as the fixing point only can be accessed through a narrow slot. These cases do not allow the

This is a disadvantage especially where the edge profile of the glazing is located behind a cover strip and where the portion of the edge profile serving as the fixing point only can be accessed through a narrow slot. These cases do not allow the
2 above-mentioned fasteners to be used without removing the cover strip. Special problems in the fastening of sunshades are encountered in terrace glazings of the sliding glass type in which the glazing has its edge rail, or its rail-free glass edge, inserted into a guide profile.
An objective of the invention is to provide a fastener for a sunshade and a sunshade, allowing the disadvantages of the prior art to be eliminated.
The objectives of the invention are achieved by means of a fastener for a sunshade and a sunshade which are characterized by what is disclosed in the independent claims. Some preferred embodiments of the invention is disclosed in the dependent claims.
The sunshade fastener, to which the invention relates, has a gripping part to be secured to an edge rail of a sunshade and a suspension means to be secured to a structural part. In the fastener according to the invention, the suspension means is pivotably connected to the gripping part. The gripping part of the fastener is intended to be secured into the edge rail of the sunshade. The pivotable connection of the suspension means to the gripping part allows the suspension means to be pivoted to an appropriate position in each fastening situation where the entire fastener cannot be pivoted. As an example, a situation like this arises when the gripping part of the fastener is unpivotably secured to the edge rail of the sunshade. The structural part to which the fastener is to be secured can be a glazing part of a balcony or a terrace, a door or a window for instance. The glazing part can have a profile, such as an aluminum profile, or, the edge of the glazing part can be a so-called free edge having no edging parts.
In a preferred embodiment of the sunshade fastener according to the invention, said suspension means comprises an elongated shaft having a first end connected to the gripping part, and the suspension means is adapted to pivot around a pivoting axis parallel to the longitudinal direction of the shaft. Preferably, the shaft has a round cross-sectional shape, allowing it to pivot in a slot whose width only is slightly greater than the diameter of the shaft.
In a second preferred embodiment of the sunshade fastener according to the invention, the shaft has a second end, provided with a hook, the hook having a tip.
The hook can be suspended from a structural part in such a way that the edge of the structural part is received into the hook, between the shaft and the tip.

The gripping part of the fastener is intended to be secured into the edge rail of the sunshade. The pivotable connection of the suspension means to the gripping part allows the suspension means to be pivoted to an appropriate position in each fastening situation where the entire fastener cannot be pivoted. As an example, a situation like this arises when the gripping part of the fastener is unpivotably secured to the edge rail of the sunshade. The structural part to which the fastener is to be secured can be a glazing part of a balcony or a terrace, a door or a window for instance. The glazing part can have a profile, such as an aluminum profile, or, the edge of the glazing part can be a so-called free edge having no edging parts.
In a preferred embodiment of the sunshade fastener according to the invention, said suspension means comprises an elongated shaft having a first end connected to the gripping part, and the suspension means is adapted to pivot around a pivoting axis parallel to the longitudinal direction of the shaft.

The third direction is substantially opposite to the first direction. The third position of the suspension means is intended as a locking position in which the hook of the gripping part is engaged with the edge of the structural part. The engagement is due to the fact that, in the third position, the edge of the structural part is clamped between the shaft and the free end of the hook. Preferably, the suspension means can be unpivotably locked in the third position. The locking can be carried out by unmovably supporting the pivoting member, provided in the first end of the shaft, against the gripping part or the edge rail of the sunshade.
In still another preferred embodiment of the invention of the sunshade fastener according to the invention, the gripping part and the suspension means are separate parts connectable to and removable from each other. Thus, the gripping part and the suspension means can be made of different materials having different properties.

The suspension means 20 is pivotably connected to the gripping part 10 by fitting the shaft 22 of the suspension means into the chute 16 of the gripping part.
The lengths of the bottom 32 and the tip 34 of the hook in the end of the hook are dimensioned to allow the hook to be pushed from the first or the second end of the chute, with the free end of the tip ahead, through the chute, in order to place the chute around the shaft of the suspension means, on the first side of shaft, and in order to place the straight strips of the base, found at the ends of the chute, on the second side of the shaft. The suspension means can be removed from the gripping part by a reverse action. The width and depth of the chute are dimensioned in such a way that a small clearance is left between the outer face of the shaft inside the chute and the inner face of the chute, to allow the shaft to be pivoted. Thus, the suspension means 20 connected to the gripping part 10 is pivotable, inside the chute, around the longitudinal axis of the shaft.
The gripping part 10 is a body intended to be secured to an edge rail of a sunshade in a manner that will be described later. The suspension means 20, in turn, is a part by means of which the fastener is secured to a structural part, such as a glazing part of a balcony or terrace, a door or window. The gripping part can also have shape differing from that shown in Figures la to Id. What is essential for the gripping part is that it comprises gripping members to be secured to the edge rail of the sunshade and a connecting point for pivotably connecting the suspension means.
Figures 2a, 2b and 2c illustrate, by means a sequence of images, how the sunshade is fastened to a structural part by using the fastener of the invention.
The figures only show the edge rail 50 of the sunshade. The actual solar radiation protecting part of the sunshade may comprise a zigzag-folded curtain secured to the edge rail, or, a plurality of blind laths suspended from the edge rail by means of cords. These solar radiation protecting parts are not shown in the figures.
When fastening the sunshade, firstly, a necessary number of fasteners are secured to the edge rail 50 of the sunshade. As sunshades often are relatively narrow, two fasteners per edge rail are usually needed to secure them. In this case, the fasteners are seated in place in the proximity of the ends of the edge rail.

The suspension means 20, in turn, is a part by means of which the fastener is secured to a structural part, such as a glazing part of a balcony or terrace, a door or window. The gripping part can also have shape differing from that shown in Figures la to Id. What is essential for the gripping part is that it comprises gripping members to be secured to the edge rail of the sunshade and a connecting point for pivotably connecting the suspension means.
Figures 2a, 2b and 2c illustrate, by means a sequence of images, how the sunshade is fastened to a structural part by using the fastener of the invention.
The figures only show the edge rail 50 of the sunshade. The actual solar radiation protecting part of the sunshade may comprise a zigzag-folded curtain secured to the edge rail, or, a plurality of blind laths suspended from the edge rail by means of cords. These solar radiation protecting parts are not shown in the figures.
When fastening the sunshade, firstly, a necessary number of fasteners are secured to the edge rail 50 of the sunshade. As sunshades often are relatively narrow, two fasteners per edge rail are usually needed to secure them. In this case, the fasteners are seated in place in the proximity of the ends of the edge rail.

8 If the sunshade is wide, a larger number of fasteners can be secured to the edge rail. The edge rail 50 of the sunshade shown in the Figures has two parallel sides 52a, 52b the second faces of which are provided with grooves 54 open towards each other. The gripping part is fastened to the edge rail by first fitting the gripping part 10 between the sides in such a way that the gripping members are co-planar with the grooves. At this stage, the fastener is pivoted to a position in which its base 12 is slightly oblique to the longitudinal direction of the edge rail.
Thereafter, the base is pivoted to a position parallel to the longitudinal direction of the edge rail, thus inserting the tips of the gripping members into the grooves of the sides. A
compressible band is provided on the upper face of the edge rail (the band is nor shown in the figures), pushing the gripping part upwards from the upper face of the edge rail and thus increasing the friction force acting between the tips of the gripping members and the wall surface of the grooves and securing the fastener to the edge rail.
Once the fasteners are secured to edge rail 50, the edge rail is suspended from an edge of the structural part. The structural part shown in the Figures, to which the sunshade is fastened, is a glass door 200, and the edge rail is fastened to the upper edge 202 of the glass door. Likewise, the fastener can be secured to a free end of a strip-like part of a window frame profile or a balcony glazing edge profile.
When fastening the sunshade, firstly, the suspension means 20 of the fastener is pivoted to the position required by the structural part. If the fastening point on the structural part is freely accessible (as in Figures 2a to 2c), the position of the suspension means often is of no importance. However, the fastening point may sometimes be covered by a cover strip, for example, there only extending a narrow slot to the fastening point in the installation direction. In this case, the suspension means 20 is pivoted to a first position in which the hook 30 provided in the end of the shaft 22 lies in a plane parallel to the slot, allowing the hook to be pushed up to a position above the upper face of the structural part.
The hook 30 of the suspension means 20 is lifted up to a position above the upper edge 202 of the structural part 200, and the suspension means is pivoted to a second position in which the bottom 32 of hook is substantially perpendicular to the surface of the structural part. Thereafter, the fastener is lowered with the result that the upper edge of the structural part and the bottom 32 of hook are received into the hook and against the upper edge, respectively (figure 2b). The length of the bottom of the hook is dimensioned to be substantially longer than the width of the edge of the structural part. The sunshade is now seated to be suspended from
Thereafter, the base is pivoted to a position parallel to the longitudinal direction of the edge rail, thus inserting the tips of the gripping members into the grooves of the sides. A
compressible band is provided on the upper face of the edge rail (the band is nor shown in the figures), pushing the gripping part upwards from the upper face of the edge rail and thus increasing the friction force acting between the tips of the gripping members and the wall surface of the grooves and securing the fastener to the edge rail.
Once the fasteners are secured to edge rail 50, the edge rail is suspended from an edge of the structural part. The structural part shown in the Figures, to which the sunshade is fastened, is a glass door 200, and the edge rail is fastened to the upper edge 202 of the glass door. Likewise, the fastener can be secured to a free end of a strip-like part of a window frame profile or a balcony glazing edge profile.
When fastening the sunshade, firstly, the suspension means 20 of the fastener is pivoted to the position required by the structural part. If the fastening point on the structural part is freely accessible (as in Figures 2a to 2c), the position of the suspension means often is of no importance. However, the fastening point may sometimes be covered by a cover strip, for example, there only extending a narrow slot to the fastening point in the installation direction. In this case, the suspension means 20 is pivoted to a first position in which the hook 30 provided in the end of the shaft 22 lies in a plane parallel to the slot, allowing the hook to be pushed up to a position above the upper face of the structural part.
The hook 30 of the suspension means 20 is lifted up to a position above the upper edge 202 of the structural part 200, and the suspension means is pivoted to a second position in which the bottom 32 of hook is substantially perpendicular to the surface of the structural part. Thereafter, the fastener is lowered with the result that the upper edge of the structural part and the bottom 32 of hook are received into the hook and against the upper edge, respectively (figure 2b). The length of the bottom of the hook is dimensioned to be substantially longer than the width of the edge of the structural part. The sunshade is now seated to be suspended from
9 the upper edge of the structural part by the suspension means. The sunshade suspended by the suspension means is freely movable to the right installation point along the upper edge of the structural part.
The sunshade is locked in place on the structural part by pivoting the suspension means to a third position, whereby the hook 30 provided in the second end of the shaft 22 is turned towards to a position parallel to the plane of the structural part, and, the distance from the shaft 22 of the suspension means, and from the tip of the hook, to the surface of the structural part becomes smaller. The shaft is pivoted to such an extent that that lever member 24 is seated between the sides of the edge rail 50, and the shaft is locked in this position by inserting a locking member 28 into a groove 54 provided in the first side 52a of the edge rail.
The upper edge 202 of the structural part, which in this case is glass door 200, is now clamped between the shaft 22 of the suspension means and the tip 34 of the hook (Figure 2c). In the locking step, the shaft 22 of the suspension means, the hook 30 and the shaft part are subjected to deformations causing tensional forces in the suspension means. These tensional forces maintain the clamping force between the hook and the upper edge of the structural part, holding the fastener in place on the structural part. If necessary, the fastener can be removed from the structural part by releasing the locking member out of the groove provided in the edge rail and by pivoting the suspension means back to the position shown in Figure 2b.
In this position, the suspension means can be lifted away from the upper edge of the structural part.
Figure 3 is an exemplary lateral view of a preferred embodiment of the sunshade fastener according to the invention. The embodiment of the fastener shown in the Figure comprises a gripping part 110 and a suspension means 20 pivotably connected to the gripping part. The suspension means is of the same kind as in the description of the above-mentioned Figures. Likewise, the gripping part is mostly of the same kind as in the above-mentioned Figures, i.e. it comprises a sheet-like base 112 having a first edge 111 and a second edge 113. The first edge of the base is fitted with two gripping members in the form of a sheet-like protrusion of which the first gripping member 114a is bent, from the plane of the base, to a substantially right angle in a first direction, and the second gripping member is bent, from the plane of the base, to a substantially right angle in a second direction opposite to the first direction. In this embodiment, the second edge 113 of the base is straight, i.e. without an edging bent to an angle from the plane of the base. In addition, the base has a third edge 115 and a fourth edge 117 extending parallel to each other and in a substantially right angle to the first and the second edge.
The first side of the base 112 is provided with a chased chute 116 protruding from the plane of the base and having its longitudinal direction oriented substantially 5 perpendicular to the plane defined by the gripping members. The suspension means 20 is pivotably connected to the gripping part 110 by fitting the shaft 22 of the suspension means into the chute 116. The third and the fourth edge have faces 140, 142 protruding from the plane of the base and created out of the portions at the third 115 and the fourth edge 117 of the base 112 by shaping.
The
The sunshade is locked in place on the structural part by pivoting the suspension means to a third position, whereby the hook 30 provided in the second end of the shaft 22 is turned towards to a position parallel to the plane of the structural part, and, the distance from the shaft 22 of the suspension means, and from the tip of the hook, to the surface of the structural part becomes smaller. The shaft is pivoted to such an extent that that lever member 24 is seated between the sides of the edge rail 50, and the shaft is locked in this position by inserting a locking member 28 into a groove 54 provided in the first side 52a of the edge rail.
The upper edge 202 of the structural part, which in this case is glass door 200, is now clamped between the shaft 22 of the suspension means and the tip 34 of the hook (Figure 2c). In the locking step, the shaft 22 of the suspension means, the hook 30 and the shaft part are subjected to deformations causing tensional forces in the suspension means. These tensional forces maintain the clamping force between the hook and the upper edge of the structural part, holding the fastener in place on the structural part. If necessary, the fastener can be removed from the structural part by releasing the locking member out of the groove provided in the edge rail and by pivoting the suspension means back to the position shown in Figure 2b.
In this position, the suspension means can be lifted away from the upper edge of the structural part.
Figure 3 is an exemplary lateral view of a preferred embodiment of the sunshade fastener according to the invention. The embodiment of the fastener shown in the Figure comprises a gripping part 110 and a suspension means 20 pivotably connected to the gripping part. The suspension means is of the same kind as in the description of the above-mentioned Figures. Likewise, the gripping part is mostly of the same kind as in the above-mentioned Figures, i.e. it comprises a sheet-like base 112 having a first edge 111 and a second edge 113. The first edge of the base is fitted with two gripping members in the form of a sheet-like protrusion of which the first gripping member 114a is bent, from the plane of the base, to a substantially right angle in a first direction, and the second gripping member is bent, from the plane of the base, to a substantially right angle in a second direction opposite to the first direction. In this embodiment, the second edge 113 of the base is straight, i.e. without an edging bent to an angle from the plane of the base. In addition, the base has a third edge 115 and a fourth edge 117 extending parallel to each other and in a substantially right angle to the first and the second edge.
The first side of the base 112 is provided with a chased chute 116 protruding from the plane of the base and having its longitudinal direction oriented substantially 5 perpendicular to the plane defined by the gripping members. The suspension means 20 is pivotably connected to the gripping part 110 by fitting the shaft 22 of the suspension means into the chute 116. The third and the fourth edge have faces 140, 142 protruding from the plane of the base and created out of the portions at the third 115 and the fourth edge 117 of the base 112 by shaping.
The
10 edge of the first face 140 directed towards the first side 11 of the base 112 is provided with a recess 144 to the free edge of which the pivoting member 26 can be locked while the suspension means is pivoted to its third position shown in Figure 3, i.e. to a position in which the hook 30 of the suspension means is locked to a structural part in the manner described above. The edge of the second face 142 directed towards the first side 111 of the base 112, is, in turn, provided with a protrusion 146 to which the pivoting member 26 can be locked while the pivoting member is pivoted to its first position in which the hook 30 of the suspension means extends in a plane substantially parallel to the base 112 and is directed towards the third edge 115 of the base. Thus, in this embodiment, the suspension means 20 can be unmovably locked with respect to the gripping part 110 by locking the pivoting member to the base 112.
Figures 4a and 4b are oblique top views of a sunshade according to the invention.
In the following, both the Figures will be explained at the same time. The Figures only show the edge rail 150 of the sunshade. The actual solar radiation protecting part of the sunshade may comprise a zigzag-folded curtain fastened to the edge rail, or, a plurality of blind laths suspended from the edge rail by means of cords.
These solar radiation protecting parts are not shown in the Figures. The edge rail 150 has two parallel sides 152a, 152b the second faces of which are provided with ledges 154 facing each other. The first side is fitted with a hole 118 running perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the edge rail and extending, through the ledges provided on the side, from the upper face of the first side to the lower face of the side. The lower face of the first side shows a lower ledge 156 having two locking holes 158a, 158b spaced from the the hole 118. The suspension means 120 is pivotably connected to the edge rail by inserting the elongated shaft 122 of the suspension means into the hole 118.
