Definitions

  • the present invention is related to an improved slat structure for use in Venetian blinds, which is made up of two units, an outer unit and a core unit that can be assembled and disassembled with ease so that the color and artistic design of the slat can be readily changed as one wishes by simple replacement of the core unit.
  • Conventional slats of the Venetian blinds are attached to a pair of drawing cords and can be limitedly moved; and the Venetian blinds can be changed only by removing the whole sets thereof. That is such a waste of money in first place and a waste of time in second place.
  • the present inventor noticed the conventional problem and has come up with an improved slat structure of the present invention which can overcome the precedingly described disadvantages.
  • the primary object of the present invention is to provide a kind of slat whose color and artistic design can be easily and quickly changed by replacement of its part.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a kind of slat made up of an outer unit and a core unit which are able to be assembled and separated readily with the core unit which can be painted in various colors and with different artistic designs replaceable so to permit consumers to make their selections and decorate the Venetian blinds in their rooms as they wish to create the desirable moods in the rooms.
  • One further object of the present invention is to provide a kind of slat consisting of an outer unit and a core unit; the core unit is provided with a pair of parallel open-ended recessed slots along the same edge thereof; and the outer unit is equipped with a pair of parallel upwardly inwardly bent edges, forming a pair of grooves so to permit the core unit to be held in position by engagement of the edges of the core unit in the grooves of the outer unit.
  • the slat can be easily changed in color and artistic designs by simple replacement of the core unit.
  • the improved slat structure of the present invention comprises an outer unit 1 and a core unit 2.
  • the outer unit 1 has two parallel edges in the longitudinal direction, which are upwardly and inwardly bent toward each other so to form a pair of grooves 12.
  • the core unit 2 is made to have the like length of the outer unit 1 and is defined to have a slightly curved cross section.
  • a pair of parallel open-ended recessed slots 22 transverse direction are disposed on the core unit 2.
  • Each slot 22 is ended with a through hole 21 which is located in line with the through hole 11 respectively when the core unit 2 is placed in association with the outer unit 1.
  • On the surface of the core unit 2 various kinds of drawing are able to be painted or is sticked with some kind of cloth fabric painted with different artistic designs so that the artistic drawings on the slat can be readily changed by simple replacement of the core unit 2 chosen by a consumer.
  • a core unit 2 is ready to be located in association with the outer unit 1 by way of a number of consecutive steps.
  • a drawing cord is first led through the open-end slot 22 and finally is placed in the through hole 21, then the longitudinal edge 24 without the opening of the slot 22 is first put in one of the grooves 12; afterwards the outer edge 23 is forced into the opposite groove 12 of the outer unit 1 with the center of the core unit 2 slightly up crooked. After the edge of the core unit 2 totally slides into the groove 12 the core unit 2 is joined with the outer unit 1 to form the present slat structure.
  • the core unit 2 which can be provided with different artistic designs can be easily replaced so that the appearance of the slats of a Venetian blind can be changed without wasting too much money and time, and the decoration of a room can he effectively varied accordingly by means of the present slat structure.
