Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tilting transfer mechanism for a venetian blind assembly which may, for example, be positioned behind glazing, for example, between the two panes of double glazing.
  • Venetian blind assemblies have been proposed which have been positioned in a number of different ways relative to window units.
  • the blind assembly may be adjacent a single pane of glass or between two panes, or even positioned in a triple glazing unit.
  • the assemblies may be positioned within a unit which is provided with a hermetic seal between the panes and the frame to provide a superior insulation.
  • window units having two or more spaced panes it is desirable in window units having two or more spaced panes that the slats of the blind assembly in the open position occupy as much of the space between the panes as possible in order to reduce expense of blind assembly and to reduce operating forces. If slats were used where the width of the slat is substantially less than the space between the panes, more slats would be required completely to close the window opening thus increasing the cost and the force necessary to effect tilting.
  • a problem with many hermetically sealed units has been the difficulty of providing control exterior of the window unit by which the tilting of the slats may be regulated while at the same time preserving the integrity of the sealed unit. Controls extending through the frame will, after use, increase the difficulty of maintaining a seal.
  • Magnetic couplings have been proposed for hermetically sealed window units to connect an actuating member exterior of the unit to a blind operating element in the interior unit as can be seen for example from United States Patent No. 3,022,549 and 3,129,471.
  • the problem with such couplings has been to design one which is small in size and which will, at the same time, have sufficient coupling strength to enable the slat of the blind to be tilted throughout their complete range.
  • tilting transfer mechanism for a venetian blind assembly having a plurality of slats, at least one tape cable forming part of supporting means supporting said slats, pivotal upper and lower hanger members supporting each tape cable, upper and lower bearing elements pivotally supporting said upper and lower hanger members respectively, the tilting transfer means including a linearly movable operating element and connecting means operatively connecting said linearly movable operating element with said hanger members, whereby linear movement of said operating element will cause said hanger members to pivot on said bearing element to tilt said slats.
  • the concept of the invention is thus to have the slats tiltable by acting directly on at least one of the hanger members or on the slat supporting means. This gives the advantage of limiting the number of parts required for the blind construction and its tilting operating means. While the hanger members may be separate from the top and bottom slats, so that the slats of the assembly can all be substantially the same, it is also possible for the hanger members to form part of or be in the form of a spare top or bottom salt which will normally be of slightly heavier construction. The hanger member construction itself does not form part of the invention.
  • the tape cable may form part of the connecting means and these may include flexible elements, or pivotally mounted rigid linear elements, connecting the operating element with the tape cable.
  • the flexible elements may be connected to the tape cable and the operating element at such points that they cross in a vertical plane, so that they may be hidden behind the linearly movable operating element.
  • the connecting means may comprise, in part, a separate drive cable connected to the upper and lower tape hanger members and to the linearly movable element either directly or via the tape cables.
  • the drive cable may engage a surface of the hanger member spaced from the pivot axis of the hanger member and include, in addition, a drive cable guide for guiding the drive cable near the hanger member to maintain constant tension in the complete drive cable including the portion of the drive cable on the side of the operating element in the direction of linear movement of the operating element.
  • the guide may comprise a saddle-shaped wire hanger having two spaced parallel upstanding portions with one of the portions forming a guide arm, and the other of the portions forming a bearing support from one of the hanger elements.
  • the operating element has a guide means extending in a direction transverse to the direction of linear movement of the operating element, the connecting means including a slider which is slidable in the guide means, whereby the connecting elements may move in a direction transverse to the linear movement of the operating element during operation of the mechanism.
  • the connecting means including a slider which is slidable in the guide means, whereby the connecting elements may move in a direction transverse to the linear movement of the operating element during operation of the mechanism.
  • the operating element is preferably slidable in a linear direction on one side of the pane and an actuating member is linearly slidable on the opposite side of the pane from the operating element and is coupled with the operating element.
  • the pane forms part of a hermetically sealed window unit, with the venetian blind positioned within the window unit, the operating element is advantageously magnetically coupled with the actuating member.
  • the operating element and the actuating member each including one or more magnets therein and the operating element may include an inner housing containing at least one magnet with the inner housing being connected to the connecting means and the actuating member including an outer housing containing at least one further magnet.
  • a guide may be fixed to the window unit and the outer housing containing the actuating member with the magnets therein being able to slide in the guide.
  • a stroke limiter in the form of a bar is affixed to the window unit and the actuating member is positioned adjacent and movable with respect to the stroke limiter, stop means on the actuating member limiting movement of the actuating member with respect to the stroke limiter, which is, preferably, positioned between the magnets of the actuating member.
  • the operating element may itself comprise a split housing which forms two similar housing sections, each housing section having at least one magnet therein, and the housing being connected between'the sections in the connecting means.
  • the split housing is preferably formed by a notch in the housing on a side thereof facing the slats.
  • the housing may have an upwardly extending vertical arm and a downwardly extending vertical arm, each connected by one of its ends to the housing and between the two sections each connected at the other of its ends to the connecting means, more normally the tape cable of the ladder tape of the venetian blind.
  • Each housing section preferably comprises a band which engages an edge of a magnet, the band having a shoulder on a portion thereof having a side engaging a face of a magnet and having, in addition, a pole piece engaging on the opposite side of this shoulder from the side engaging the face.
  • the pole piece is magnetically attracted to the magnet, such that the shoulder holds the magnet and the pole piece in place in the band and no other means are required to hold the magnets in place.
  • the pole piece has a groove in it to receive and locate the shoulder.
  • the actuating member may also comprise a split mounting having two similar mounting sections substantially equal in size to the two housing sections, each mounting section containing at least one magnet therein with a magnet in the housing section being magnetically coupled with a magnet in the mounting section.
  • each housing and each mounting section has several magnets vertically arranged therein, with the number of magnets in the housing section being equal to the number of magnets in the mounting section.
  • the polarity of the magnets at one vertical level of one housing section may then be opposite to the polarity of the magnet in the same vertical level in the other housing section, while the polarity of a magnet in one vertical level in one housing section is opposite to the polarity of a magnet in the same vertical level in the mounting section to which the magnet in the housing section is magnetically coupled. This ensures that there is little tendency for the actuating member to cause any tilting movement of the operating element.
  • the operating element within the double glazing unit includes an inner housing having tie points at the top and bottom sides thereof connecting the housing part of the connecting means.
  • the slats preferably have one or more cut-outs therein to receive the operating element, or part thereof, the remainder of the slats having no such cut-outs and therefore being solid. This enables the operating element to be moved further inwardly.
  • the slats which do have cut-outs are preferably provided with two cut-outs and these slats are secured by securing means to the tape cable at the widest portion thereof between the cut-outs.
  • the operating element may then be connected to the tape cable, the tape cable forming part of a tape ladder which has a plurality of upper rungs and lower rungs which support the slats, means being provided which are associated with some of the slats for holding the upper and lower rung to the top and bottom surface of a slat adjacent a cut-out formed in the edge of the slats with the cut-outs.
  • the widest portion of each slat having cut-outs may have a notch on the edge thereof to receive a tape cable.
  • the means associated with some of the slats may comprise a pad engaging the surface of a portion of a slat extending between the cut-outs with a pad having a rung engaging surface including a groove portion and a slat engaging surface thereon, a pad fixing means fixing the pad to the surface of the slat whereby the groove portion will engage a rung to prevent longitudinal movement of the slat with respect to the tape ladder.
  • the pad fixing means may then include a locking member which extends through an aperture in the widest portion of the slat which has cut-outs, whereby the tape support pad is affixed to a surface of the slat and the fixing means includes a notch for engaging that rung of the double rung arrangement which is opposite the rung which is engaged in the groove portion, such that the tape support pad spreads the upper and lower rungs engaged thereby to tension these rungs whereby they are securely held in the groove portion and in the notch portion.
  • a window unit 1 comprising a venetian blind assembly 2 positioned between a front pane of glass 3 and a rear pane of glass 4.
  • Panes 3 and 4 may be sealed with respect to a frame 5, which comprises horizontal upper and lower members 6 and 7 respectively and vertically extending side members 8 and 9 to form a hermetically sealed window unit.
  • the venetian blind assembly 2 comprises a plurality of slats 10 (Figure 2) contained within two tape ladders 11.
  • Each tape ladder 11 comprises two tape cables 12 having a plurality of upper rungs 13 and lower rungs 14 extending therebetween with the slats 10 being supported between upper and lower rungs.
  • the tape cables 12 are supported and stabilized by an upper hanger member 15 and a lower hanger member 16, each of which is pivotally mounted on a separate bearing 20.
  • a tape cable 12 is joined to an operating element 21 by means of flexible linear elements 22 with one linear element being connected to an upper part of the operating element and the other linear element to a lower part of the operating element.
  • elements 22 are shown as flexible linear elements, they could, in the alternative, comprise rigid linear elements pivotally connected to the cable 12 and operating element 21.
  • Operating element 21 is linearly movable in a vertical direction on the inside surface of the glass plane 3 and is magnetically coupled with an actuating member 23 linearly movable in a slide 24 fixed on the outside surface of the pane.
  • the operating element 21 and actuating member 23 preferably are provided with PTFE covers 25 or other material having similar lubricating properties, to reduce friction forces between the glass surface and the element and member.
  • the actuating member may be provided with an actuating knob 26 which may be grasped in order to move the member within the slide 24.
  • the knob in addition, is preferably threaded into the actuating member so that the knob and actuating member may be locked into place by screwing the knob down so that it tightly engages the slide.
  • tilting transfer mechanism shown could be utilized equally as well with tape cables which are connected to individual slats by other means.
  • small clips may be used to connect a cable directly to a slat or the cable may be provided with eyelets connecting with holes in the slats.
  • FIG. 4 to 6 A further form of connection between a tape cable and operating element is shown in Figures 4 to 6 in which like parts illustrated in Figures 1 to 3 have the same reference numerals.
  • the operating element 21, as shown, is a rigid member 40 including a lateral guide slot 41 in which is slidable a square cross-section guide pin 39 carried on a slider 43, which in turn is joined to the cable 12 by passing the cable through grooves 44.
  • Retaining tabs 42 are provided on the ends of pins 39.
  • the cable 12 and the slider 43 are free to move in a transverse direction with respect to the linear movement of operating member 21, so that lateral loads will not be imparted into the system when the slats are tilted.
  • FIG. 7 A still further connection between an operating element and cable is shown in Figure 7.
  • the operating element 70 comprising a housing, includes a lateral guide slot 71 on the housing extending in a direction transverse to the linear vertical movement of the operating element.
  • the cable 12 which is connected to hanger members (not shown) has a slider 73 joined thereto, the slider including a portion 74 slidable in guide slots 71.
  • the cable 12 and connector piece are thus free to move in a transverse direction with respect to the linear movement of the operating element 70 in the same manner as with the forms of connecting means as shown in Figures 2 to 6, thus ensuring that no lateral loads are introduced when the slats are tilted.
  • Some of the slats 110, i.e. those within the path of movement of element 70 have cut-outs 75 therein to receive the operating element 70 or part thereof.
  • FIG. 8 to 12 A modified assembly is illustrated in Figures 8 to 12, in which like parts are indicated by like reference numerals plus 100.
  • a linearly movable actuating member (not shown) is magnetically coupled with a linearly movable operating element 121 which comprises a split housing 131, forming two housing sections 132 and 133, each of which carries a magnetic 134 to cooperate with magnets carried in the actuating member so as to form a magnetic couple therewith.
  • the slats 110 adjacent the operating element 121 each have two cut-outs 135 and 136 therein, in order to accommodate the sections 132 and 133 containing the magnets 134.
  • the portion of the slats 110 between the cut-outs 135 and 136 extends into the space between the two sections 132 and 133 forming the split housing and this portion is connected to the cable 112 by way of upper and lower rungs, as shown, or if no rungs are provided, directly to the cable 112 by clamps or other means as explained hereafter.
  • the slats 110 are supported in the same manner as the slats 10 and that any additional structure, such as clamps clamping the upper and lower rungs to any reduced portion of the slat at a cut-out or a separate tape ladder means connecting slats 110, are not necessary to ensure vertical and longitudinal alignment of all the slats.
  • the tape cable 112 is connected at one point at the split housing between the sections 132 and 133 by an adhesive or any other means. Because of the extreme thinness of the split housing and the web 138 joining the two sections, the cable 112 is not depressed or displaced laterally with respect to the slats to any substantial extent, so that no undue interference would occur between the cable and the edges of the slats 110 not having cut-outs, resulting in possible deformation of the slats or increase in force necessary to tilt the slats.
  • a securing means for securing a slat 110 to a connecting means or tape cable 112 which comprises integral tabs 146 and 147 punched from a side portion 148 of the slat extending between the two cut-outs 135 and 136. As shown, the tabs 146 and 147 are bent over the upper rung 113 to clamp the rung to the upper surface of the slat 110.
  • the slat is then securely clamped to the rung and prevented from longitudinal displacement with respect to the tape ladder, which could result in an unsightly appearance of the slat 110 having the cut-outs from the remainder of the slats 110, and also prevents any sagging of the slats 110 resulting from the rungs extending over one of the cut-out areas. While the tabs are shown on the upper surface of the slat, they could instead be on the lower surface, or even one on the upper surface and one on the lower surface, the only requirement being that at least one cross-rung is securely clamped to a slat surface.
  • the side portion 148 of the slat preferably has a notch 149 on the edge thereof in order to accommodate the tape cable 112. This prevents the cable from binding on the slat as might occur during,tilting of the slats which in turn would increase the forces required to operate the tilting mechanism.
  • the pad.150 comprises a body member 151 having a slat engaging surface 152 and a rung engaging surface 153 including a groove portion 154 thereon.
  • the slat engaging surface has a locking member 155 extending therefrom adapted to be inserted through an aperture 156 contained in the slat 110.
  • Locking member 155 has a notch portion 157 adapted to engage a lower rung 114 as shown in Figure 12.
  • the body member 151 along with the locking member 155 serves to tension the rungs by spreading them apart, which ensures that they will be held in the groove 154 and notch 157, thus fixing the tape support member with respect to the tape ladder, so that there will be no longitudinal movement of the slat 110 with respect to the tape ladder.
  • the tape support may be provided with an arm 158 to ensure further that the upper rung 113 is held in groove 154 and to impart additional tension on i the upper rung.
  • a notch 159 may be included on the end of the body member 151 to engage tape cable 112, to provide an even further means for preventing longitudinal movement of the slat 110 with respect to the tape ladder.
  • tape support pad 150 is shown in Figures 10 to 12 as engaging the upper surface of a slat 110, the pad could be inverted to engage instead a bottom surface of the slat.
  • the tape support pad 180 comprises a body member 181 having a slat engaging surface 182 and including a groove portion 183 extending the length of the body member and adapted to have a rung therein.
  • the body portion includes an arm portion 184 extending over the edge of the cut-out 149 contained in the slide portion of the slat between cut-outs 135 and 136.
  • a notch 185 is included in the arm portion to provide a means for securing the slat against relative longitudinal movement with respect to the tape ladder.
  • Groove 183 holding the rung 113 provides a further means for preventing such longitudinal movement.
  • the body member 181 includes a locking member (not shown) which extends from a slat engaging surface to be locked into an aperture in the slat 110 in the same manner as with the embodiment of Figures 10 and 12. Again, the tape support pad 180 may engage either the top or bottom surface of a slat.
  • Figures 14 to 16 illustrate a further form of operating element 190 having two housing sections 191 and 192 spaced apart and joined by a thin centre section 193.
  • An upwardly vertically extending arm 194 is connected at one end to centre section 193 and at its other end 195 to the tape cable 112.
  • a downwardly extending arm 196 is connected at one end to centre section 193 and at its other end 197 to a tape cable 112.
  • the housing sections containing the magnets comprise a band 198 surrounding edges of the magnets 199 on each housing section.
  • Each band has a shoulder 200 engaging in one side thereof a face 201 of the magnet and engaging on an opposite side thereof of pole piece 202 which has a groove 203 therein to accommodate the shoulder 200.
  • the magnetic forces acting between the magnet 199 and pole pieces 202 pull the two parts together against the shoulder 200 so as to hold the parts within the band 198.
  • This particular construction eliminates the need for any cover on the housing containing the magnets which would act to increase the air gap between the magnets in the operating element and the magnets in the actuating member, resulting in a weak magnetic coupling between the two elements.
  • a stroke limiter construction is illustrated in Figure 17, where means are provided for guiding and limiting the linear movement of the actuating member.
  • the actuating member 123 is connected to the connection means or tape cable 112 on one side of a pane 103.
  • An actuating member 123 is shown prior to being magnetically coupled to the operating element on the opposite side of the pane 103 from the operating element.
  • the actuating member 123 contains two mounting sections 161 and 162 similar in size and shape to the housing sections 191 and 192 of the operating element 190 and contains magnets therein in the same manner as the operating element.
  • the space 163 between the mounting section forms a track or guide to receive a stroke limiter 165 which is affixed to the side of the pane 103 opposite the operating element 190.
  • the top 166 and bottom 167 of the housing of the actuating member serve as stops to limit linear movement of the actuating member. In this manner, the actuating member 123 is guided as it is moved to operate the tilt mechanism and the guiding action, as well as the stop provision, ensures that the actuating member may not be moved beyond the point where the magnetic coupling between it and the operating element 190 might be broken.
  • each housing section 191 and 192 contain a plurality of vertically arranged magnets with the polarity of the magnets at one vertical level in one housing section being opposite to that of a magnet of the same vertical level in the other housing section.
  • each mounting section 161 and 162 contains a plurality of vertically arranged magnets, with the polarity of a magnet at one vertical level in one mounting section being opposite to that of a magnet at the same vertical level in the other mounting section.
  • the actuating member 123 may be considered an outside magnet assembly, since as shown in Figure 20, it is positioned exterior of a window unit and on the opposite side of the pane 103 from the operating element 190.
  • the view illustrated in Figure 19 is in the direction of the arrow 231 away from the pane towards the exterior of a window unit.
  • pivoted hanger members While in the above description the pivoted hanger members have been indicated as separate from the top and bottom slats, they could, of course, form part of a special top or bottom slat or a member which is similar thereto.
