Abstract

This lamella, consisting of a sleeve, formed by the double thickness of fabric, is characterised by the division of this sleeve into several sheaths over the entire length. This division is obtained by stitching or other means. The various widths of lamellae may comprise one or more sheaths. These sheaths (4), obtained by stitching the sleeve (2) formed by the double thickness of fabric (1) permitting the passage of stiffeners (3) over the entire length of the lamella, thus giving support to the lamella, make it possible to obtain blinds of great widths. These stiffeners may be of different shapes and in different materials. <IMAGE>

Description

A ce jour, il existe des stores vénitiens réalisés en métal, ceci limite les effets décoratifs.To date, there are Venetian blinds made of metal, this limits the decorative effects.

L'état de la technique peut être défini par le brevet suivant :
US-A-2.994.370 : Ce brevet décrit des stores vénitiens. Dans le mode de réalisation particulier représenté, des lames de stores forment une poche consistant en deux bandelettes transparentes, souples, plastiques, côte à côte. Ces deux bandelettes transparentes sont reliées à leur extrémité par des agrafes ou autres moyens. Ces bandelettes peuvent être scellées à chaud, ensemble, par leurs bords opposés. De manière amovible, ces bandelettes, qui forment une poche, peuvent recevoir l'autre bandelette plate de tissu opaque, translucide ou coloré. Les bandelettes peuvent être de papier, tissu, plastique ou autre matériel. Ces bandelettes sont décorées.The state of the art can be defined by the following patent:
US-A-2,994,370: This patent describes Venetian blinds. In the particular embodiment shown, blind slats form a pocket consisting of two transparent, flexible, plastic strips, side by side. These two transparent strips are connected at their ends by staples or other means. These strips can be heat sealed, together, by their opposite edges. Removably, these strips, which form a pocket, can receive the other flat strip of opaque, translucent or colored fabric. The strips can be paper, fabric, plastic or other material. These strips are decorated.

Ce brevet décrit une lame formée de deux bandelettes transparentes, souples, fermées par collage ou agrafage par leurs extrémités. Ces bandelettes se suffisent à elles-mêmes pour former une lame de store vénitien. Les bandelettes plates qui sont insérées ont un aspect esthétique. C'est pourquoi, les lames sont formées de deux bandelettes transparentes souples qui peuvent recevoir une bandelette plate décorée.This patent describes a blade formed by two transparent, flexible strips, closed by gluing or stapling at their ends. These strips are self-sufficient to form a Venetian blind blade. The flat strips that are inserted have an aesthetic appearance. This is why, the blades are formed of two flexible transparent strips which can receive a decorated flat strip.

Pour pallier cet inconvénient, il est employé un matériau textile permettant toutes sortes de dessins, lignes et autres produisant des effets esthétiques et augmentant le décor des fenêtres.To overcome this drawback, a textile material is used which allows all kinds of designs, lines and the like producing aesthetic effects and enhancing the decor of the windows.

La présente invention consiste en une lame présentant une double épaisseur de tissu formant, sur toute la longueur de cette lame, un fourreau.The present invention consists of a blade having a double thickness of fabric forming, over the entire length of this blade, a sheath.

Cette lame est fabriquée en différentes largeurs et a été apprètée industriellement pour obtenir une meilleure tenue du tissu.This blade is manufactured in different widths and has been primed industrially to obtain better hold of the fabric.

On utilise cette lame de tissu comme lame de store vénitien.This fabric blade is used as a Venetian blind blade.

Les largeurs de lames permettent d'obtenir des décorations et des présentations différentes.The widths of blades allow to obtain different decorations and presentations.

Le store vénitien, dont les lames sont en aluminium, est plus considéré comme un produit de fonction : bureau, banque, administration.The Venetian blind, whose blades are made of aluminum, is no longer considered a functional product: office, bank, administration.

La lame de tissu donne, au store vénitien, un aspect tout à fait contraire, plus décoration plus store d'ameublement.The blade of fabric gives the Venetian blind a completely opposite appearance, more decoration more furniture blind.

Le lame de store vénitien selon l'invention est du type constitué d'un fourreau formé par une double épaisseur d'un matériau souple. Ce fourreau est divisé pour former des gaines. Ledit fourreau comporte au moins deux gaines horizontales, au moins une des gaines horizontales étant positionnées à une bordure longitudinale de ladite lame et contient un raidisseur.The venetian blind blade according to the invention is of the type consisting of a sheath formed by a double thickness of a flexible material. This scabbard is divided to form sheaths. Said sheath comprises at least two horizontal sheaths, at least one of the horizontal sheaths being positioned at a longitudinal edge of said blade and contains a stiffener.

La lame selon l'invention est caractérisée en ce que le matériau souple est un tissu, la division du fourreau est réalisée par couture, la deuxième gaine est positionnée à l'autre bordure longitudinale de ladite lame et contient aussi un raidisseur et en ce qu'une troisième gaine est ménagée entre les gaines de bordure, d'une largeur sensiblement supérieure à celle des gaines de bordure et contient un troisième raidisseur de forme sensiblement plus large que les deux raidisseurs de bordure.The blade according to the invention is characterized in that the flexible material is a fabric, the sheath is divided by sewing, the second sheath is positioned at the other longitudinal edge of said blade and also contains a stiffener and in that 'a third sheath is formed between the edge sheaths, of a width substantially greater than that of the edge sheaths and contains a third stiffener of substantially wider shape than the two edge stiffeners.

Claims (1)
