Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne les stores du type de ceux dont le panneau ou les lamelles sont montés entre une tringle haute, contenant le mécanisme de relevage, et une tringle basse, faisant fonction de barre de charge, avec deux câbles de guidage du repliement du panneau ou des lamelles disposés à proximité des lisières desdits panneau ou lamelles et les traversant.The invention relates to blinds of the type of those of which the panel or the slats are mounted between a high rod, containing the lifting mechanism, and a low rod, acting as a load bar, with two cables for guiding the folding of the panel. or strips arranged near the edges of said panel or strips and passing through them.
L'objet de la présente invention est de procurer un store à panneau du type précité dont le panneau puisse être très simplement monté et démonté pour le lavage.The object of the present invention is to provide a panel blind of the aforementioned type, the panel of which can be very simply assembled and disassembled for washing.
Un autre objet de l'invention est de procurer un store dont le panneau puisse être en matière textile souple, ce qui permet d'obtenir des effets de drapé.Another object of the invention is to provide a blind whose panel can be made of flexible textile material, which makes it possible to obtain drapery effects.
Selon l'invention, le store est constitué par un panneau en matière textile souple dont les bords supérieur et inférieur sont cousus sur une bande d'accrochage à boucles destinée à coopérer avec une bande d'accro- chage correspondante montée respectivement sur les tringles haute et basse, un ou plusieurs câbles verticaux de montage et de guidage étant enfilés dans le panneau et réunis en partie haute pour former le cordon de tirage.According to the invention, the blind consists of a panel made of flexible textile material, the upper and lower edges of which are sewn onto a loop fastening strip intended to cooperate with a corresponding hanging strip mounted respectively on the upper rods. and low, one or more vertical mounting and guide cables being threaded through the panel and joined at the top to form the pull cord.
Les tringles sont constituées par un rail contenant une baguette amovible portant les bandes d'accrochage du panneau et formant guide de coulissement des câbles.The rods are constituted by a rail containing a removable rod carrying the hanging strips of the panel and forming cable sliding guide.
A ses extrémités, la baguette est munie de deux fentes aboutissant à un trou rond destiné à recevoir une bague enclipsable afin de faciliter le montage et le démontage des câbles.At its ends, the rod is provided with two slots leading to a round hole intended to receive a snap ring in order to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the cables.
La matière textile souple constituant le panneau autorise le lavage en machine domestique de ce dernier.The flexible textile material constituting the panel allows the machine to be washed in a domestic machine.
D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention ressortiront de la description ci-après de quelques exemples de réalisation en référence au dessin annexé qui représente une vue schématique éclatée d'un store selon l'invention.Other advantages and characteristics of the invention will emerge from the description below of a few exemplary embodiments with reference to the appended drawing which represents an exploded schematic view of a blind according to the invention.
Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté le store est constitué par les deux tringles haute 1 et basse 2 entre lesquelles est tendu un pan- neau 3 en matière textile souple, en l'occurrence un voilage de nylon gaufré. Chaque tringle 1 est constituée par un rail de support en profilé d'aluminium dans lequel est montée amovible une baguette de préférence en matière plastique 4.In the embodiment shown, the blind is formed by the two upper 1 and lower 2 rods between which is stretched a
Le profilé 1 est de section rectangulaire, ouvert à sa base.Profile 1 is of rectangular section, open at its base.
La baguette 4 peut être un simple profilé en U et porte sur la face externe de sa base une bande d'accrochage 5a destinée à coopérer avec Une bande d'accrochage 5b cousue le long du bord inférieur et supérieur du panneau 3. Comme indiqué précédemment, les bandes d'accrochage peuvent être de préférence du type auto-agrippant connu sous la dénomination commerciale bande Velcro. Elles peuvent également être constituées par tout moyen d'attache rapide équivalent tel que des bandes de boutons à pression, bandes adhésives, etc. A chaque extrémité, la baguette 4 comporte des fentes longitudinales 6 débouchant dans un trou rond 7 destiné à recevoir une bague enclipsable 8 faisant guidage pour le ou les câbles 9 passant près des lisières du panneau 3. Deux bouchons d'extrémité 10 viennent fermer la tringle 1, l'un des bouchons (non représenté) comportant, de manière connue en soi, un trou et un volet de blocage pour le passage du câble 9 qui forme cordon de-tirage.The
La tringle basse 2 est constituée de manière identique à cette différence près qu'elle comporte à ses extrémités deux bouchons borgnes 10, au lieu d'un bouchon borgne et d'un bouchon ouvert muni d'un mécanisme de blocage du cordon, comme c'est le cas pour la tringle haute 1.The bottom rod 2 is constituted in an identical manner except that it has at its ends two
Le câble ou cordon 9, dans ce premier exemple de réalisation, est formé en boucle dont les deux extrémités sont réunies à l'extérieur du store dans une boule 11 qui porte la poignée 12 de tirage.The cable or
Le câble 9 est enfilé à proximité des lisières du panneau 3. Le montage et le démontage du store selon ce premier exemple de réalisation s'effectuent de la manière suivante :
- Après avoir ôté les
bouchons 10 à chaque extrémité des tringles 1 et 2, on dégage lesbaguettes 4 puis les bagues enclipsables 8, ce qui permet de dégager lecâble 9 de labaguette 4. Il suffit ensuite de tirer sur les bandes accrochantes 5b cousues en haut et en bas dupanneau 3 pour démonter ce dernier qui reste solidaire ducâble 9, des bagues 8, du-bouchon comportant le mécanisme de blocage, et de la poignée de tirage ; l'ensemble peut alors être lavé en machine après avoir pris la précaution d'enfermer la partie dépassante du câble, la poignée de tirage et le bouchon dans un sachet.
- After removing the
plugs 10 at each end of the rods 1 and 2, therods 4 are released and then the snap-on rings 8, which allows thecable 9 to be released from therod 4. Then just pull on the strips hanging 5b sewn at the top and bottom of thepanel 3 to disassemble the latter which remains integral with thecable 9, the rings 8, the plug having the locking mechanism, and the pull handle; the assembly can then be machine washed after taking the precaution of enclosing the protruding part of the cable, the pull handle and the plug in a bag.
Après lavage, le remontage s'effectue très simplement en sens inverse.After washing, reassembly is very simple in reverse.
Outre la facilité de. montage et de démontage qu'il procure, le dispositif selon l'invention permet d'utiliser des panneaux en matière textile souple, ce qui procure des effets décoratifs inédits en particulier des effets de drapé lorsque le store est en position intermédiaire.Besides the ease of. assembly and disassembly it provides, the device according to the invention allows the use of flexible textile panels, which provides unique decorative effects in particular drapery effects when the blind is in the intermediate position.
Le premier exemple de réalisation correspond à des stores de faible largeur pour lesquels deux lignes de passage du câble de guidage le long des lisières du panneau sont suffisantes pour assurer à la fois une bonne tenue du panneau et un fonctionnement correct du store. Le câble étant unique et en boucle, les opérations d'enfilage du panneau lors de la fabrication du store sont très simplifiées.The first exemplary embodiment corresponds to blinds of small width for which two lines of passage of the guide cable along the edges of the panel are sufficient to ensure both good performance of the panel and correct operation of the blind. The cable being single and looped, the operations of threading the panel during the manufacture of the blind are very simplified.
Selon une variante de réalisation, non représentée, au lieu d'un câble unique formé en boucle dont les extrémités sont reliées au niveau de la poignée de tirage, on peut prévoir un câble spécial pour chaque ligne d'enfilage. Dans ce cas, les extrémités basses des deux câbles peuvent être soit solidarisées à l'intérieur de la baguette basse 2 par un serre-câble commun, soit comporter chacune un serre-câble d'arrêt ; leurs extrémités hautes sont comme dans le cas précédent réunies au niveau de la poignée de tirage.According to an alternative embodiment, not shown, instead of a single cable formed in a loop the ends of which are connected at the level of the pull handle, a special cable can be provided for each threading line. In this case, the lower ends of the two cables can either be secured to the interior of the lower strip 2 by a common cable clamp, or each comprise a stop cable clamp; their upper ends are, as in the previous case, joined at the level of the pull handle.
D'autre part, lorsque le store est de grande largeur, en raison de la souplesse du tissu l'effet de drapé obtenu lors du repliage partiel du store peut être exagéré et devenir inesthétique.On the other hand, when the blind is very wide, due to the flexibility of the fabric, the draping effect obtained during partial folding of the blind can be exaggerated and become unsightly.
Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, on dispose à intervalles réguliers dans la largeur du store d'autres lignes de passage pour des câbles supplémentaires sur lesquels on enfile également des bagues enclipsables destinées à coopérer avec des trous correspondants dans les baguettes des tringles ; lesdits trous sont également munis de fentes disposées perpendiculairement à la baguette pour le dégagement des câbles. Comme précédemment, les câbles sont soit arrêtés indivi- duellement, soit réunis dans un serre-câble commun à l'intérieur de la baguette de la tringle basse et sont réunis par leur extrémité haute au niveau de la poignée de tirage.To overcome this drawback, there are at regular intervals in the width of the blind other passage lines for additional cables on which are also fitted snap-on rings intended to cooperate with corresponding holes in the rods of the rods; said holes are also provided with slots arranged perpendicular to the rod for the release of cables. As before, the cables are either individually terminated or gathered in a common cable clamp inside the rod of the low rod and are joined by their high end at the pull handle.
Lors du démontage du panneau, il est possible soit de démonter les serre-câble afin d'ôter les câbles, ce qui, après lavage, oblige à les ré-enfiler dans le panneau, soit de laisser les câbles en place et, comme dans le premier exemple de réalisation, d'en enfermer la partie dépassante dans un sachet.When dismantling the panel, it is possible either to dismantle the cable ties in order to remove the cables, which, after washing, requires them to be re-threaded into the panel, or to leave the cables in place and, as in the first embodiment, to enclose the protruding part in a bag.
Selon encore une autre variante de réalisation, les câbles 9 peuvent être fixés de manière inamovible à l'intérieur de la tringle basse 2.According to yet another alternative embodiment, the
Le panneau 3 peut comporter des lignes de trous pré-perforés pour le passage des câbles 9, mais de manière préférentielle les câbles sont passés directement dans le panneau à l'aide d'une aiguille.The
Les stores selon l'invention peuvent être montés de manière classique sur des pitons fixés devant des fenêtres, ou bien dans des cadres dans lesquels ils peuvent coulisser longitudinalement selon le principe des cloisons japonaises. Dans ce cas, la tringle supérieure sera avantageusement munie de support pour des galets destinés à suspendre le store à coulissement dans un rail.The blinds according to the invention can be mounted in a conventional manner on studs fixed in front of windows, or else in frames in which they can slide longitudinally according to the principle of Japanese partitions. In this case, the upper rod will advantageously be provided with support for rollers intended to suspend the sliding blind in a rail.
