Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bracket for mounting a sun screen, in particular in a niche by means of screws or similar fastening devices, comprising at least one hole in the bracket and a washer fitted between the head of the fastening device and the bracket.
  • brackets for sun screens e.g. in the form of roller blinds are mounted by means of fastening devices, such as screws or nails, but in practice there is an uncertainty as to the final placement of the fastening device, because a hole may not always be drilled precisely in the chosen spot or because a nail may change its direction during hammering. Precisely the large lengthwise dimensions of roller blinds, the roller blind tube as well as the height of the fully extended roller blind, make lack of adjustment during the fitting very visible. In order to permit a certain lining-up of fits that would be askew, if the fastening element passed through a pre-determined circular and narrow hole in the bracket, oblong holes have been formed in the brackets, e.g.
  • a bracket that avoids the disadvantages of hitherto known fastenings and which permits adjustment in directions that are typically at right angles to each other as well as mutual lining-up of both of the brackets that are needed for a sun screen.
  • the hole in the bracket is circular and in that the washer has a circular, plateau-shaped part in a first plane, with a diameter equal to the diameter of the hole and fitted rotatably in the hole, and a surrounding ring-shaped part with a larger diameter in a second plane resting on the bracket, in that the washer is provided with an oblong hole in the circular plateau part.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the invention is particular in that the oblong hole has a length that is equal to the diameter of the circular part. Hereby the widest possible range of adjustment is obtained.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is particular in that the ring- shaped part has a serrated edge.
  • these serrations may be placed so that they do not interfere with the projecting angular part of the bracket.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is particular in that the circular part has projecting parts on that side of the element that is opposite the ring-shaped part, for holding the washer in the hole.
  • the washer remains in the hole and may be considered to be integrated into the bracket.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is particular in that there is established a click-adjustment of the angle of the washer.
  • a given adjustment may be maintained, even if the bracket were later to be removed, with subsequent refitting.
  • the click adjustment itself may consist in cooperation between serrations on the edge of a ring-shaped part and a fixed projection in the bracket.
  • the invention furthermore relates to the use of a bracket as defined above in fitting a sun screen, in that the circular part of the washer is placed in the hole of the mounting bracket, that a fastening device is fitted through the oblong hole with clearance between the head and the washer, that the ring-shaped part is rotated with respect to both fastening devices during alignment of the sun screen to its desired position, until the oblong holes permit free passage of the shanks of the fastening devices, whereupon the fastening devices are tightened in order to maintain the aligned position of the sun screen.
  • Another corresponding method that uses the fact that the circular plateau-shaped part fits tightly in the hole consists in visual adjustment of each washer by turning until a fastening element may pass through the oblong hole and into a pre-drilled hole in the support, while the sun screen is aligned in the desired direction, whereupon the fastening elements are fitted.
  • a head on a fastening element a part is to be understood that has a larger diameter than the shank, and hereby equally a nut or a rivet head.
  • a rivet head may be the remaining part of a POP® rivet in case the sun screen is to be mounted on a sheet subesquent to alignment.
  • Fig. 1 shows a mounting bracket provided with two washers according to an embodiment of the invention
  • Fig. 2 shows the two washers separated from from the mounting bracket, from the same point of observation
  • Fig. 3 shows this separated configuration from the reverse side of the mounting bracket.
  • a bracket 1 that is intended for screw mounting on a vertical surface as shown or on a horizontal surface (in particular from below) for fixing one end of a sun screen, such as a roller blind, by insertion of a formed flap 2.
  • the bracket is angular, and in order to givet it strength ribs r are provided.
  • Oblong screw holes 3 and 4 are provided, with a diameter (shortest dimension) that is slightly larger than the shank of a screw but smaller than the head of an ordinary screw.
  • a screw with a right-angled transfer to the shank but a conical surface at the hole surround may make a flat-headed screw with conical transfer to the shank equally useful.
  • the bracket 1 In order to obtain a secure fastening, reduction of play and in order to obtain a nice look it is desirable that the bracket 1 is as close to the end of the roller blind as possible. This means that the bracket must be aligned by means of the holes 3 and 4. With the orientation of the holes as shown there is only a possibility for displacement up and down. However, the holes are provided in washers 5 and 6 that may rotate about a horizontal axis of symmetry, and it is possible to find an orientation of the oblong holes 3 and 4 that corresponds to the desired alignment of the bracket 1.
  • the edges 11 of the washers are provided with serrations that enable rotation for adjustment by means of the finger or tools.
  • the serrations interact with small projections p that are formed in the bracket 1.
  • the alignment possibilities correspond to optional placement of screw holes anywhere within circles having diameters that are defined by the largest dimension of the holes.
  • Fig. 2 is shown that the bracket 1 is provided with circular holes 7 and 8. These holes interact with a cylindrical thickening of the washers 5 and 6, as seen in Fig. 3.
  • the washers have cylindrical thickenings 9 and 10 that have essentially the same diameter as the holes 7 and 8, and the larger diameter of the normally visible parts 5 and 6 of the washers transmit the mounting forces from a screw to the bracket and then to the support.
  • the edges of the cylindrical parts 9, 10 are squeezed or have cast projections, for instance in three places p', in order that parts of washer material projects towards a chamfering 12, 13 at the rear edges of the holes 7, 8.
  • the thickenings are cylindrical, in that they may equally well be pressed in a sheet material that provides a somewhat different shape in the holes 7, 8.
  • the washers may be cast in a plastic material or turned in aluminium, possibly extruded aluminium by cutting off and turning down a pipe with an oblong inside profile.

Abstract

L'invention concerne des supports (1) de montage destinés à être fixés dans une position alignée, p. ex. pour supporter un store à rouleau, dans une direction parallèle aux bords d'une niche et qui, dans les modèles connus à ce jour, comportent des orifices oblongs permettant de régler la position par serrage des vis associées. Le support décrit permet d'élargir les possibilités de réglage, par l'utilisation de rondelles (5, 9) comportant un orifice oblong, et la fixation par rotation de ces rondelles dans les orifices (7) des supports.
