Definitions

  • a bearing insert fitting for roller blinds is provided.
  • the invention relates to the mechanical connection between the bearing insert and the roller blind tube in a roller blind.
  • roller blind rod was made of wood, and the bearing insert was simply a round nail placed centrally in the wood, which was solid and rod- shaped at one end.
  • the bearing insert became a plug with a cylindrical metal insert, said plug being pushed or hammered into position for a compression fit.
  • roller blind mechanisms have become more sophisticated, more and more of a mechanical nature is placed inside the tube and in the bearing insert, and it is no longer satisfactory that a plug is pressed into a tube, because it becomes impossible to separate the two sensibly afterwards.
  • Parts that are suitable for this purpose are indeed manufactured, but the fit obtained when the parts are joined is entirely dependent on the manufacturing tolerances of the parts.
  • the worst cases are the extremes of the tolerances: a tube with an inside diameter that is too small trying to cooperate with a plug that is average, or a plug with an outside diameter that is too large trying to cooperate with an average value inside diameter of the tube. In both cases, the joint will be too tight.
  • an inside diameter of the tube at the maximum limit trying to cooperate with an outside diameter of the plug at the minimum limit will not be a joint at all - it will fall apart.
  • close tolerances are expensive to obtain in manufacture, and in particular when one part is made of a polymer, the cost becomes unrealistic for a roller blind component.
  • the insert is provided with angularly disposed radial and longitudinal ribs that cooperate with the inner surface of the roller blind tube, said inner surface being provided with longitudinal grooves at an angular spacing that is identical to the angular spacing of said ribs.
  • longitudinal grooves may be manufactured by extrusion, if the tube is made of aluminium, or they may be shaped by reaming from one end of the tube, because they need not have a length that exceeds the length of the ribs. In that case even a rolled and welded steel tube may be used.
  • the insert as well as the inside of the tube are provided with indexing means that ensure that either the inside cylindrical surface of the tube or the bottom of the longitudinal grooves are reliably engaged.
  • indexing means has been used, although “registration means” might equally indicate the essence of this feature, namely that a given angular relationship between the roller blind tube and the insert is reliably obtained.
  • the indexing means of the tube consist of at least one pair of internal longitudinal ribs in the tube, with a distance such that they may be straddled by two consecutive ribs on the insert, while one of the grooves is disposed between said ribs.
  • the indexing means of the tube consist of two inwards-facing dimple-like structures, with a distance such that they may be straddled by two consecutive ribs on the insert (1), while one of said grooves is disposed between said dimple-like structures.
  • Dimples would be simply formed by pressing radially inwards in a tubular material that is otherwise smooth, apart from the grooves.
  • either the ribs or the grooves define a slightly conical surface. This enables a simpler evaluation of the insertion and extraction force to be expected, because the axial penetration without appreciable force will be to a depth that is dependent on the tightness of the fit. If the fit is too tight, then it is easy to retract the insert before it is caught and perform the angular displacement to the grooves.
  • the conical surfaces provide a wedge-like effect.
  • Fig. 1 shows one type of engagement between insert and tube in cross section
  • Fig. 2 shows an enlargement of part of the cross section shown in Fig. 1
  • Fig. 3 shows the alternative type of engagement between insert and tube in cross section
  • Fig. 4 shows an enlargement of part of the cross section shown in Fig. 3, and
  • Fig. 5 shows a cross section of a groove in still greater enlargement.
  • Fig. 1 is shown an insert 1 inside a roller blind tube 2.
  • the insert is made in a plastic material and the roller blind tube is extruded in an aluminium alloy.
  • the insert 1 is provided with a number of ribs 3 that center the insert inside the tube 2 at the radius R and create friction to the inside surface of the tube, i.e. they provide the retaining force against being pulled out.
  • Fig. 2 is seen an enlargement of this fitting of the insert inside the tube, and the ribs 3' and 3" are shown straddling a structure 2', 2" formed on the inside of the tube.This structure is a set of longitudinal ribs that between them define a space 2s.
  • Fig. 3 shows how a greater clearance between the insert 1 and the roller blind tube 2 is obtained, but it is more clearly shown in Fig. 4.
  • the inside of the roller blind tube has been provided with longitudinal grooves 4 that locally increase the inside radius of the roller blind tube to R' at angular intervals that correspond to the angular distance between the external ribs 3 on the insert 1.
  • the insert is rotated a half division with respect to the situation described above, so that the rib 3" now engages the space 2s between the ribs 2', 2".
  • the local radius R' also applies to this space 2s.
  • the ribs 3 do not reach the bottom of the grooves 4, which in practice would lead the operator to prefer the previous situation.
  • Fig. 5 is shown an even greater enlargement in order to illustrate the two radii obtained in the same roller blind tube 2.
  • the provision of the choice of two radii is not necessary along the whole length of the roller blind tube, but only near one or both ends. For this reason the grooves may not need to be created by extrusion, but they may be made by other methods known in the trade, such as by a reaming or milling process near the ends.
  • the internal rib structure 2', 2" also does not need to extend the whole length of the tube, because the purpose is a locking against rotation. That may be obtained by the provision of a dimple-like structure near one or both ends of the roller blind tube.
  • the end of a roller blind tube has an insert with a bearing arbor.
  • the diameter tolerances on roller blind tubes and inserts are such that the operator meets very variable forces in pressing it in.
  • there may be provided a choice of diameters by providing the insert with longitudinal ribs that cooperate either with the original inside surface of the roller blind tube, which is normal, or with longitudinal grooves having slightly increased radius with respect to the axis of the roller blind tube.

Abstract

L'extrémité d'un tuyau de volet roulant est équipée d'un insert doté d'un arbre de roulement. L'insert est souvent un bouchon sur lequel il faut appuyer afin de l'ajuster étroitement dans l'extrémité et il devient par conséquent difficile de le retirer. Les tolérances de diamètre sur les tuyaux de volet roulant et les inserts sont telles que des forces très variables s'opposent à l'opérateur lorsqu'il appuie sur l'insert pour l'ajuster dans le tuyau. L'invention permet de fournir un choix de diamètres en équipant l'insert de nervures longitudinales qui coopèrent soit avec la surface intérieure d'origine du tuyau de volet roulant, qui est normale, soit avec des rainures longitudinales ayant un rayon légèrement accru.
