Definitions

  • This invention relates to a window covering assembly with tension cords-guiding one or more movable rails and the covering material.
  • window covering assemblies are known in the art and are typical pleated blinds or cellular blinds.
  • the tension cords When such blind assemblies have a fixed rail and a movable rail, the tension cords will generally be routed from the fixed rail through the window covering material and to the movable rail, and from there to a position on a window sill or other fixed surface.
  • One of the best known cord-routings is the so-called H-routing in which the tension cords cross-over from left to right, within the movable rail.
  • window blind assemblies can have two movable rails or shuttle rails and provide the blind user with more choice in positioning the shading material in an architectural opening. He can for example leave open area's over both the top and the bottom rail. This is of course a desirable feature for window coverings.
  • the tension cords in such cord tensioned blind assemblies provide the necessary friction to the or each movable rail to keep the rail from moving on its own accord, i.e. move downward under influence of its own weight.
  • a user can manipulate a movable rail by hand to the desired position, release the rail and the tensioned cords will ensure that the rail remains in that position.
  • springs are used to tension the cords to provide the desired amount of friction. The springs will also compensate for the variation in cord-length caused by stretch or crimp. It is usual for a cord tensioned blind to have a dedicated pair of cords that are tensioned specifically for holding a single shuttle rail in position.
  • an extra pair of cords is added, or a loop is added to each tension cord which loop is routed through the other rail and about a spring in that rail.
  • additional guide cords which are also tensioned by springs, are also routed through the covering, but serve mainly to guide the covering material.
  • the tension on these additional cords is much less than for the main tension cords, and will be chosen to only compensate for the stretch and crimp of the cords.
  • the cord routings can be chosen to allow the rails to be manipulated at any point on it's length without skewing, or a less complicated routing can be chosen when the rail can be hand operated at two spaced apart locations.
  • EP 1526245 describes a cord tensioner for the guide cords of a cord-guided window blind with movable rails holding a blind material.
  • the cord tensioner located at one of the rails is a helically wound, extension spring with an integral extension limiter, extending axially through the spring, to prevent it from being overextended.
  • window covering assemblies with two movable rails cannot be made in any size.
  • the top rail tends to sag through the middle.
  • a window covering assembly as defined in appended claim 1.
  • the window covering assembly comprises cord tensioning means in the top movable rail for tensioning the first and second main tension cords.
  • the tensioning means are positioned beyond the first entrance point in the direction towards the opposite longitudinal end of the top movable rail, and the first main tension cord is routed from the first entrance points to the tension means, slidingly connected thereto and looped back past the first entrance points to the first exit point.
  • the tensioning means comprises at least one tension spring.
  • the tensioning means comprises a single spring in the longitudinal center of the top movable rail and wherein the first and second main tension cords are slidably connected to either end of the spring.
  • the window covering assembly further comprises at least one auxiliary tension cord being routed to enter the top movable rail at the first entrance point adjacent one of the right or left longitudinal ends of the top movable rail and being spaced the first length measured from said end, the auxiliary tension cord then being routed through or along the rail to exit the top movable rail at a second exit point which exit point is spaced at a third length from the same one of the left or right longitudinal rail ends as the first entrance point, and the first tension cord then being routed through the blind material towards the lower movable rail and the third length exceeding the first length.
  • the window covering assembly further comprises at least one auxiliary tension cord being routed to enter the top movable rail at a second entrance point coinciding with the right or left longitudinal end of the top movable rail, such that the first length is next to nothing , and the auxiliary tension cord then being routed through or along the rail to exit the top movable rail at a second exit point which exit point is spaced at a third length from the left or right longitudinal rail end coinciding with the second entrance point.
  • the window covering assembly further comprises means for attaching the tension cords to top and bottom fixed surfaces extending parallel to the top and bottom movable rails.
  • connecting means comprise mounting blocks.
  • Figure 1 shows a prior art cord guided blind 1, having a movable top rail 3 and a movable bottom rail 5 and blind material 7 extending between these two rails. Also shown are left and right tensioned guide cords 9, 11 which are tensioned by common central spring 13. The routing of these cords and the spring hold the top movable rail 3 in different vertical positions in the blind after it has been moved up or down along the cords.
  • the first main or left tension cord 9 enters the top rail 3 at a first entrance point 27 a first distance L1 29 from the left end 3A of the top rail.
  • the cord is routed via main tension spring 13 to a first exit point 31 at a second distance L2 33 measured from the left end 3A of the top rail 5.
  • the first main tension cord 9 is then routed through the shade material 7, preferably through a first and preferably the left most column 15 of aligned openings 15A, to enter the bottom rail 5 at a bottom rail entry point 35 directly opposite to the top rail exit point 31.
  • the first main tension cord 9 exits the bottom rail 5 at a right bottom exit point 37 at or adjacent its right end 5B.
  • the left tension cord 9 further is depicted with top and bottom ends 9A, 9B, which ends can be connected to a fixed surface by any convenient means, such as mounting blocks.
  • the second main or right tension cord 11 is routed in mirror image.
  • the cord enters the top rail 3 at right entrance point 39 a first distance L'1 41 from the right end 3B of the top rail.
  • the cord is routed via main tension spring 13 to a point of exit 43 at a second distance L' 2 45 measured from the right end 3B of the top rail 3.
  • the cord is then routed through the shade material 7, preferably through a right-most column 17 of aligned openings 17A, to enter the bottom rail 5 at a bottom rail entrance point 47 directly opposite to top rail exit point 43 .
  • the right tension cord 11 exits the bottom rail 5 at bottom rail left exit point 49 at or adjacent its left end 5A.
  • the right tension cord 11 further is depicted with top and bottom ends 11A, 11B, which ends can be connected to a fixed surface by any convenient means.
  • the first distances L1, L'1 of the entry points 27, 39 of the left and right cords 9, 11 measured from the respective left and right rail ends 3A, 3B are smaller than the second distances L2, L'2 of the exit points 31,43 for the same cords measured relative to the same rail ends.
  • FIG. 1 Not shown in Figure 1 is a second pair of main left and right tension cords for the bottom movable rail 5 and the tension spring for these cords.
  • the cord routing for the second pair is identical to the routing of the first pair, but starts from the bottom rail, where the spring is. Effectively by turning figure 1 over, the cord routing of the second pair is shown.
  • auxiliary tension cords and springs for guiding the blind material.
  • Such cords would run through intermediate columns 19,21,23 and 25 of aligned openings, the top and bottom rails are provided with suitable top rail exit points 19A, 21A, 23A and 25A and bottom entry points 19B, 21B, 23B, 25B.
  • top rail 3 of the prior art cord tensioned blind assembly tends to sag in the middle when the blind rail exceeds a certain length between the two longitudinal ends 3a,3b.
  • the tension springs provide a force which acts through the tensioned cord onto the rail at each point of contact of the tension cord with the movable rail.
  • the net force acting on the rail is built up from the tension spring force acting on the cord and the weight of the blind.
  • the spring force acting on the main tension cords is significant. Contrary, for the auxiliary cords it is next to nothing.
  • Figure 3 shows the solution to this problem in accordance with the invention. Basically by changing the routing of the main left and right tension cords for the top rail the problem of the 'wrong' torques has been solved.
  • Figure 3 is a schematic view of a first embodiment of the invention in which like parts of figure 1 have the same numbers greater by 100.
  • Figure 3 is a schematic representation of the cord guided blind 100 of the invention, having a movable top rail 103 and a movable bottom rail 105 and blind material 107 extending between these two rails. Also shown are main first and second (or left and right) tension cords 109, 111 for movable top rail 103 which cords are tensioned by common central spring 113.
  • the left tension cord 109 enters the top rail 103 at first entrance point 127 a first distance L 101 129 from the left end 103A of the top rail.
  • the cord is routed via main tension spring 113 to a first exit point 131 at a second distance L 102 133 measured from the left end 103A of the top rail 103
  • the right tension cord 111 enters the top rail 103 at right entrance point 139 a first distance L' 101 141 from the right end 103B of the top rail.
  • the cord is routed via main tension spring 113 to a right exit point 143 at a second distance L' 102 141 measured from the left end 103B of the top rail 103.
  • the first distances L101, L'101 exceed the second distances L102, L'102 (133, 145).
  • the net distance between each pair of entrance and exit points (127, 131 and 139, 143) at either end 103A, 103B of the rail 103 which results in the desired Torques T3, T4 and prevents sagging is determined by a various variables. These variables include, the length of the top rail 103, it's longitudinal stiffness, the total weight of the blind 100, the chosen location of the left and right columns of cord openings 115, 117 for routing the main tension cords through the blind material (which determine the exit positions in the top movable rail), as well as the strength of the central spring tensioning the main cords in the top rail of the blind.
  • Figure 5 shows a preferred embodiment of a cord tensioned shade with six parallel spaced apart tension cords running through the shade material. Like parts of figure 3 have the same referral numbers greater by 100.

Since the use of colors in the drawings is not allowed, cross-hatchings are used intended to help the reader to distinguish the different tension cords. For clarity Figure 5A is added showing cord sections with the cross-hatchings used in Figure 5 .
  • the blind material is provided with additional columns of openings, besides the first and last columns of openings 215, 217 for the two main tension cords 209, 211. These additional columns are the second, third fourth and fifth columns 219, 221, 223, 225 in the blind material 207 and they are spaced apart between the first and last columns 215, 217.
  • the top and bottom rails 203 and 205 comprise cord openings, preferably provided with suitable grommets, aligned at the top and bottom ends of each of these columns, thus top second, third, fourth and fifth openings 219A, 221A, 223A, , 225A, in the bottom second, third, fourth and fifth openings 219B, 221B, 223B, 225B.
