Definitions

  • This invention relates to a combination of an end cap and a mounting support for a roller, especially a roller of an architectural covering and particularly a winding roller for a covering for an architectural opening, such as a window blind or shade, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a combination is known from United States Patent Specification US 5450891.
  • the combination according to the invention is further characterised by the closing means comprising a rotatable locking collar surrounding the laterally open slot and having a circumferential entrance opening which can be aligned with the laterally open slot by rotation of the locking collar relative to the laterally open slot from a dosed position to an open position, thereby selectively providing access to the laterally open slot through the circumferential entrance opening.
  • the end cap and mounting support combination also comprises means for retaining the locking collar in the closed position.
  • the retaining means comprise a resilient spring means for biasing the locking collar into its closed position.
  • the end cap and mounting support combination further comprises a manually engagable projection on diametrically opposite sides of the locking collar.
  • Figure 1 shows, in longitudinal or axial cross-section, a roller shade, generally 1.
  • the ends of the roller shade 1 are attached to a pair of conventional left and right, support brackets 3, 5 for mounting the roller shade on a wall, adjacent to a window (not shown).
  • the left and right brackets 3, 5 can be identical to limit the number of items that need to be stocked by those who sell or install the roller shade 1.
  • the roller shade 1 has an axially extending, elongate hollow tubular winding roller 7, about which are a plurality of windings of a flexible shade 9.
  • the top end of the shade 9 is attached to the roller 7 in a conventional manner.
  • a generally tubular, idle end cap 11 of this invention Within the left end portion of the roller 7, as shown in Figure 1, is a generally tubular, idle end cap 11 of this invention. As described below, the idle end cap 11 can be mounted on, and rotatably journalled relative to, the left bracket 3 in a conventional manner.
  • the driving end cap 13 has a grooved pulley 14 for engagement with a driving cord (not shown).
  • the idle end cap 11 includes: a generally tubular, axially extending, outer body 15, to be inserted in the left end of the roller 7; a generally cylindrical, axially extending, central pin 17, concentrically received within a generally tubular, axially extending, central bore 18 of the outer body 15; and a generally tubular, axially extending, rotatable locking collar 19 concentrically located between the central pin 17 and the outer body 15.
  • the left end of the central pin 17 is provided with a laterally or axially open, radially extending, central slot or recess 20, by which it can engage a laterally elongate, relatively flat tab or protuberance 21 extending axially to the right on the left bracket 3 as shown in Figure 1 and described below.
  • the outer body 15, which is non-rotatably received in the roller 7, is free to rotate with the roller 7 around the central pin 17, which is held stationary by the tab 21 on the left bracket 3.
  • the locking collar 19, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, is only capable of limited rotation about the central pin 17 of the idle end cap 11.
  • Figure 2 shows a first rotational end position of the locking collar 19 after rotation in the clockwise direction of arrow 22.
  • the central slot 20 is in communication with a circumferential entrance opening or radial opening 23 in an enlarged, axially extending, left end portion 24 of the locking collar 19.
  • the central slot 20 is open, so that the flat tab 21 of the left bracket 3 (not shown in Figure 2) can be radially inserted in the central slot 20.
  • Figure 3 shows a second rotational end position of the locking collar 19 after rotation in the counter-clockwise direction of arrow 25.
  • a radially projecting sector 27 is provided on the outer surface of the axially extending, left end portion 28 of the central pin 17.
  • the projecting sector 27 limits rotational movement of the locking collar 19 relative to the central pin 17 to an arc within an annular recess 29 inside the axially extending, left end portion 24 of the locking collar 19.
  • both the central pin 17 and the locking collar 19 can otherwise rotate 360° relative to the outer body 15.
  • the left end portion 24 of the locking collar 19 is also provided with at least two, radially extending ridges or projections 31, 33 which facilitate the grasping and rotation of the locking collar by hand.
  • the ridges 31, 33 are circumferentially spaced around the outer surface of the left end portion 24 of the locking collar 19 so that at least one of them can grasped in whatever position the idle end cap 11 is mounted on the left bracket 3.
  • the ridges be on diametrically opposite sides of the locking collar 19.
  • the central pin 17 has a bifurcated, preferably mushroom-shaped, structure 35 on the right end of its relatively thinner, axially extending, right end portion 37.
  • This right end portion 37 of the central pin 17 fits closely but rotatably within a right end portion 38 of the central bore 18 of the outer body 15, and the bifurcated, right end structure 35 of the central pin is adapted to snap-fit behind an annular edge 39 at the left end of a generally cylindrical, central cavity 41 at the right end of the outer body 15 and its central bore 18.
  • the bifurcated, right end structure 35 of the central pin 17 engages the annular edge 39 of the central cavity 41 of the outer body 15 to hold the central pin 17 securely within the outer body 15.
  • the left end portion 28 of the central pin 17, which carries the central slot 20 at its left end, is thicker than the right end portion 37 of the central pin.
  • the left end portion 28 of the central pin also fits closely but rotatably within the locking collar 19 but cannot move axially to the right into the thinner right end portion 38 of the central bore 18 of the outer body 15.
  • a right end portion 42 of the locking collar 19 also fits rotatably: i) about the left end portion 28 of the central pin 17 and ii) within the left end portion 43 of the central bore 18 of the outer body 15, which is wider than the right end portion 38 of its central bore 18.
  • Such restraining means can include: means for increasing the sliding friction between the central pin 17 and the locking collar 19; means providing an index between the central pin and the locking collar; or a resilient biasing means for urging the locking collar in the counter-clockwise direction of arrow 25 in Figure 3.
  • a funnel-shaped recess 44 is formed between a portion of the locking collar 19 and the projecting sector 27 of the central pin 17 in the dosed position of the locking collar 19.
  • the recess 44 forms an entrance for a conventional flat pin of a support bracket (such as is seen in Figure 1) into the central slot 20 of the central pin 17 when the central slot 20 is closed by the locking collar 19.
  • a support bracket such as is seen in Figure 1
  • the locking collar 19 will be rotated clockwise to a sufficiently open position to allow the bracket pin to enter the central slot 20 via the radial opening 23 in the locking collar 19, notwithstanding any means that have been provided in the idle end cap 11 for restraining such rotation when the central slot 20 is closed.
  • Figures 4-6 show a second embodiment 111 of the idle end cap of the invention, which is similar to the idle end cap 11 of Figures 1-3 and for which corresponding reference numerals (greater by 100) are used below for describing the corresponding parts.
  • the idle end cap 111 shown in Figures 4-6, has: an outer body 115, to be inserted in the left end of the roller 7 of Figure 1; an axially extending, central pin 117, concentrically received within the outer body 115; and a rotatable locking collar 119 between the central pin 117 and the outer body.
  • a resilient biasing means for urging the locking collar 119 in the counter-clockwise direction is provided by a leaf spring 145.
  • the leaf spring 145 can be inserted in a transverse slot 147 in the right end of the left end portion 128 of the central pin 117 and in a corresponding pair of radially aligned, transverse slots 149 that are in the right end of the right end portion 142 of the locking collar 119 and are radially aligned with the transverse slot 147 in the central pin.
  • the transverse slots 147 and 149 are each open at the respective right end of the left end portion 128 of the central pin 117 and the right end portion 142 of the locking collar 119.
  • the resulting sub-assembly can then be inserted into the central cavity 118 of the outer body 115 and retained therein by the bifurcated right end structure 135 of the central pin 117.
  • Figures 5 and 6 schematically show the position of the leaf spring 145 with respect to the central pin 117.
  • the locking collar 119 and the outer body 115 have been deleted in Figures 5 and 6.
  • Figure 5 which is an end on view of the central pin 117
  • the leaf spring 145 is shown (in solid lines) aligned in the transverse slot 147 in the central pin 117 with the central slot 120 in the central pin and is also shown (in dotted lines) in tangentially deflected positions 145A and 145B. Aligning the transverse slot 147 with the central slot 120 in the central pin 117 is not necessary, but it is preferred because it is easier to form both when making the central pin 117 by injection molding.
  • the deflected positions 145A and/or 145B of the leaf spring 145 result when the locking collar 119 and its pair of transverse slots 149 are rotated relative to the central pin 117.
  • Figures 7-9 show a third embodiment 211 of the idle end cap of the invention, which is similar to the idle end cap 111 of Figures 4-6 and for which corresponding reference numerals (greater by 100) are used below for describing the corresponding parts.
  • the idle end cap 211 shown in Figures 7-9, has: an outer body 215, to be inserted in the left end of the roller 7 of Figure 1; an axially extending, central pin 217, concentrically received within the outer body 215; and a rotatable locking collar 219 between the central pin 217 and the outer body.
  • a coil spring 245 serves as a resilient biasing means for urging the locking collar 219 in the counter-clockwise direction.
  • a cylindrical cavity is provided in one or both, particularly both, of the opposite radial surfaces 247, 249 to retain the coil spring 245 in position between them and to provide room for its compressed windings when the opposite radial surfaces 247, 249 abut one another in the open position of locking collar 219 and its radial opening 223, relative to the central slot 220 in the central pin 217.
  • Figure 9 shows how either ridge 231, 233 on the left end portion 224 of the locking collar 219 can be urged to move in a clockwise direction 222 to rotate the locking collar and its radial opening 223 clockwise into an open position relative to the central slot 220 of the central pin 217.
  • Such clockwise movement of the ridges 231, 233 and the locking collar 219 is against the force of the coil spring 245, urging the locking collar 219 to rotate in a counter-clockwise direction.
  • central pin 217 and locking collar 219 are freely rotatable in the central bore 218 of the outer body 215, clockwise rotational movement of the ridges 231, 233 will only put the central slot 220 of the central pin in communication with the radial opening 223 in the locking collar when the flat tab 21 of the bracket 3, shown in Figure 1, is engaged in the central slot 220 so as to keep the central pin 217 stationary. This is, in fact, the only situation in which one would need to open the locking collar 219 by hand.
  • Figures 10 and 11 show a fourth embodiment 311 of the idle end cap of the invention, which is similar to the idle end cap 111 of Figures 4-6 and for which corresponding reference numerals (greater by 200) are used below for describing the corresponding parts.
  • the idle end cap 31 shown in Figures 10-11, has: an outer body 315, to be inserted in the left end of the roller 7 of Figure 1; an axially extending, central pin 317, concentrically received within the outer body; and a rotatable locking collar 319 between the central pin and the outer body.
  • the central pin 317 has a cavity 351 that is in the outer circumference of its left end portion 328 and that extends to, and is open at, the right end of the left end portion 328 of the central pin.
  • the locking collar 319 has an L-shaped torsion spring 345.
  • One leg 353 of the L-shaped torsion spring 345 is mounted in a recess 355 in the outer circumference of the right end portion 342 of the locking collar 319.
  • the other leg 357 of the torsion spring 345 extends radially inwardly of the right end portion 342 of the locking collar 319 where this other leg 357 engages the cavity 351 of the central pin 317.
  • Figure 11 shows, in detail, the mounting of the torsion spring 345 in the locking collar 319.
  • Figures 12-15 show a fifth embodiment 411 of the idle end cap of the invention, which is similar to the idle end cap 311 of Figures 10 and 11 and for which corresponding reference numerals (greater by 100) are used below for describing the corresponding parts.
  • the idle end cap 411 shown in Figures 12-15, has a central pin 417 with a cavity 451 that is in the outer circumference of its left end portion 428 and that extends to, and is open at, the right end of the left end portion 28 of the central pin.
  • the locking collar 419 is provided with an integrally formed, L-shaped torsion spring 445.
  • One leg 453 of the L-shaped torsion spring 445 is mounted in a recess 455 in the outer circumference of the right end portion 442 of the locking collar 419.
  • the other leg 457 of the torsion spring 445 extends radially inwardly of the right end portion 442 of the locking collar 419 where this other leg 457 engages the cavity 451 of the central pin 417.
  • the idle end caps 11, 111, 211, 311, 411 and support brackets 3,5 could also be used in combination with the winding roller of a roller blind for a window, as well as with a winding roller for the lifting cords of a folding blind or other collapsible window coverings.
  • the outer body 15, 155, 215, 315, 415 could be modified to achieve additional objectives in the operation of the roller 7.
