Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a cordlock for a vertically displaceable window covering.
- Existing cordlock systems have the drawback that when the lock is set into operation the window covering drops downward a determined distance before locking of the cord takes place. This property is undesirable since the locked situation of the window covering is hereby difficult to determine exactly. This dropping back of the window covering is particularly undesirable in the fully opened position because of the increase in the height of the lifted components.
- In US-A-2.674.350 a cordlock is disclosed comprising:
- a locking body provided with a clamping member for clamping said cord in a clamping position and provided with a guide for guiding said cord, said guide being connected to the clamping member; and
- a housing accommodating the locking body and having a counter clamping member forming part thereof for co-action with the clamping member, said housing being provided with an inlet, and an outlet for passage of the cords.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved cordlock of the above stated type with which dropping back of the window covering after activation of the lock is reduced to a minimum. 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:
- a locking body provided with a clamping member for clamping said cord in a clamping position and provided with a guide for guiding said cord, said guide being connected to the clamping member; and
- a housing accommodating the locking body and having a counter clamping member forming part thereof for co-action with the clamping member, said housing being provided with an inlet, and an outlet for passage of the cords, characterized in that said locking body is enclosed in and lies unattached within the housing body, such that it is freely displaceable along a contact surface between a release position wherein the cords are unlocked and a locking position wherein the cord is clamped between the clamping member and the counter clamping member.
- 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.
- Finally, it is possible using this lock to block a cord without the window covering being therein displaced. This direct method of blocking enables accurate placing of the window covering in a desired position, which is particularly advantageous in a fully opened or pulled-up position.
- 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.
- In a preferred embodiment 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.
- The present invention will be further elucidated with reference to the non-limitative embodiments shown in the following figures. Herein:
- fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a vertically displaceable window covering provided with a cordlock according to the invention,
- fig. 2 is a perspective, partly cut away view of a cordlock as applied in fig. 1,
- fig. 3 and 4 show cut away top views of the cordlock as shown in fig. 1 and 2 respectively in release and clamping position,
- fig. 5 is a perspective view of a cordlock in vertical position,
- fig. 6 is a perspective view of the cordlock of fig. 5 in exploded situation, and
- fig. 7 is a partly cut away view of a cordlock as shown in fig. 5 and 6 mounted in two profile beams.
-
- Fig. 1 shows a window covering 1 which is vertically displaceable relative to a
profile beam 2 in which is arranged acordlock 3 according to the invention. (Partial) opening and closing of window covering 1 takes place by manipulating acord 4. - Fig. 2 shows a
cordlock 3 in partly cut-away view. The outside ofcordlock 3 is formed by ahousing body 5 and a housing cover 6. These can be mutually fixed by means of form-fitting elements 7. In situations where cordlock 3 will be loaded to an extreme extent it is possible to secure the cover 6 relative tobody 5 by inserting a bolt (not shown) throughopenings 8, 9 in respectively cover 6 andbody 5. A profiledcounter clamping member 10 is connected tohousing body 5. Alocking body 11 lies unattached in thehousing body 5. Thislocking body 11 comprises aguide 12 to which is fixed anarm 13, to which aclamping member 14 is fixed at a distance from theguide 12. The operation ofcordlock 3 will be described with reference to the following figures. - Fig. 3 shows the cordlock 3 in release position. The
locking body 11 freely movable inhousing 5 is urged to the left because thecord 4 lies against a projectingpart 15 ofguide 12. Theclamping member 14 fixedly connected toguide 12 is therefore also urged to the left, whereby it lies clear of a profiledcontact surface 16. Theclamping member 14 is also situated some distance fromcounter clamping member 10 so that thecord 4 can be moved therebetween without being impeded by the clamping member. In fig. 4 the cord is moved to the right relative to the position of thecord 4 shown in fig. 3.Cord 4 now lies otherwise against theguide 12 oflocking body 11, whereby it is shifted relative to the position shown in fig. 3. Thelocking body 11 is translated some distance to the right but also rotated due to the presence of acurved guide surface 17 which forms part of the housing. Theclamping member 14 thereby comes to lie againstcontact surface 16. Partly due to a corresponding profile on clampingmember 14 and contact surface 16 a clamping force is exerted oncord 4 whereby it is clamped betweenclamping member 14 andcounter clamping member 10. The latter is also provided with a profiled surface; this increases the clamping ability ofcordlock 3. - Fig. 5 shows the
cordlock 3 in a vertical position and the arrangement of thecord 4 incordlock 3 will be described with reference to this figure. Using for instance a pin, thecord 4 is first inserted through a first and second opening 18, 19 in the side walls of thehousing body 5. Thecord 4 is then placed through the second opening 19 in the wall of thehousing body 5, then carried between thecounter clamping member 10 and theclamping member 14 and placed through theguide 12 and eventually leaves thehousing body 5 at an actuatingopening 20. In short, this means thatcord 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 tohousing body 5 by means of a shaft withinternal screw thread 21. The figure also shows abolt 22 which can be placed through the cover 6 and screwed intoshaft 21. By means of this construction the counter clamping member can be fixed tohousing body 5, but the cover 6 can also be secured relative tohousing body 5. - Finally, fig. 7 shows in cut away view two
profile beams cordlock 3. Fixing of thecordlock 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 inchannels housing body 5. The head end of profile beams 23, 24 is subsequently finished using aclosing element 29.
