Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cordlock for a vertically displaceable window covering.
  • the present invention has the further object of providing a cordlock which functions in operationally certain manner, is simple to install and replace and which can also be used in different positions.
  • the present invention provides a cordlock for locking one or more cords of a vertically displaceable window covering, comprising:
  • the cordlock according to the present invention comprises a small number of moving parts, is therefore relatively simple to assemble and relatively inexpensive to manufacture. Further it is an advantage that when a window covering is pulled up without conscious release of the locking body, the lock releases automatically due to the clamping member rolling off over the counter clamping member which prevents excessive wear to the cord.
  • a preferred embodiment of the cordlock is formed in that the clamping members comprise a profiled surface and/or a rough surface. These steps increase the clamping ability of the clamping member and the counter clamping member.
  • the inner surface of the housing preferably comprises a contact surface for co-action with the clamping member.
  • the contact surface guides the clamping member to the counter clamping member such that the clamping action of the clamping member and the counter clamping member is thereby increased.
  • the contact surface preferably comprises a rough surface and/or has a surface provided with a profile. These steps result in optimum contact between the contact surface and the clamping member.
  • the inside of the housing preferably comprises a curved guide surface for co-action with the locking body.
  • the freedom of movement of the locking body in the housing is partly determined by this curved surface.
  • the curved surface herein provides a rotation of the locking body during translating thereof.
  • the locking body comprises a projecting part. Due to the engagement of the cord on this projecting part a lever action is obtained whereby the position of the locking body can be changed relatively simply.
  • Yet another preferred embodiment is characterized in that the guide of the locking body is connected to the clamping member with interposing of an arm. The force exerted on the guide by the cord is now transferred to the clamping member via a lever. This step also enhances the clamping action of the cordlock.
  • the outside of the housing is preferably provided with channels for fixing the cordlock into two profile beams slidable relative to each other in lengthwise direction. This construction enables simple assembly and/or disassembly of the cordlock.
  • Fig. 1 shows a window covering 1 which is vertically displaceable relative to a profile beam 2 in which is arranged a cordlock 3 according to the invention. (Partial) opening and closing of window covering 1 takes place by manipulating a cord 4.
  • Fig. 2 shows a cordlock 3 in partly cut-away view.
  • the outside of cordlock 3 is formed by a housing body 5 and a housing cover 6. These can be mutually fixed by means of form-fitting elements 7.
  • a profiled counter clamping member 10 is connected to housing body 5.
  • a locking body 11 lies unattached in the housing body 5. This locking body 11 comprises a guide 12 to which is fixed an arm 13, to which a clamping member 14 is fixed at a distance from the guide 12.
  • Fig. 3 shows the cordlock 3 in release position.
  • the locking body 11 freely movable in housing 5 is urged to the left because the cord 4 lies against a projecting part 15 of guide 12.
  • the clamping member 14 fixedly connected to guide 12 is therefore also urged to the left, whereby it lies clear of a profiled contact surface 16.
  • the clamping member 14 is also situated some distance from counter clamping member 10 so that the cord 4 can be moved therebetween without being impeded by the clamping member.
  • the cord is moved to the right relative to the position of the cord 4 shown in fig. 3.
  • Cord 4 now lies otherwise against the guide 12 of locking body 11, whereby it is shifted relative to the position shown in fig. 3.
  • the locking body 11 is translated some distance to the right but also rotated due to the presence of a curved guide surface 17 which forms part of the housing.
  • the clamping member 14 thereby comes to lie against contact surface 16.
  • a clamping force is exerted on cord 4 whereby it is clamped between clamping member 14 and counter clamping member 10.
  • the latter is also provided with a profiled surface; this increases the clamping ability of cordlock 3.
  • Fig. 5 shows the cordlock 3 in a vertical position and the arrangement of the cord 4 in cordlock 3 will be described with reference to this figure.
  • the cord 4 is first inserted through a first and second opening 18, 19 in the side walls of the housing body 5.
  • the cord 4 is then placed through the second opening 19 in the wall of the housing body 5, then carried between the counter clamping member 10 and the clamping member 14 and placed through the guide 12 and eventually leaves the housing body 5 at an actuating opening 20.
  • this means that cord 4 can be arranged by means of two feeding movements.
  • Fig. 6 shows the above described components in exploded view, wherein the counter clamping member 10 can be fixed to housing body 5 by means of a shaft with internal screw thread 21.
  • the figure also shows a bolt 22 which can be placed through the cover 6 and screwed into shaft 21.
  • the counter clamping member can be fixed to housing body 5, but the cover 6 can also be secured relative to housing body 5.
  • fig. 7 shows in cut away view two profile beams 23, 24 which are slidable relative to each other and both provided with an insertion aperture (here on the underside) for receiving the cordlock 3. Fixing of the cordlock 3 in the profile beams 23, 24 takes place by sliding the profile beams 23, 24 relative to each other such that edges 25, 26 of the insertion apertures of profile beams 23, 24 engage in channels 27, 28 specially arranged for this purpose in the outside of housing body 5. The head end of profile beams 23, 24 is subsequently finished using a closing element 29.
