  • the invention relates to a mobile sun blind consisting of a weather-resistant cloth with two tubes provided on each one of an upper side and a lower side of the cloth or on each one of a left side and a right side of the cloth, wherein the two tubes fit within each other and are slideable and are spring-mounted relative to each other, wherein the two tubes consist of stainless steal, aluminum or plastic, wherein ends of the two tubes are provided with a rubber cap, wherein the object is to be able to clamp the mobile sun blind before each window, if desired, and to quickly and simply roll up and store the mobile sun blind after use.
  • Fig. 1 shows a set of tubes which can be used in the mobile sun blind of the invention.
  • the set comprises a first tube member 10 and a second tube member 11 (forming a set of tubes) which fit into each other and are slideable with respect to each other.
  • a spring 20 is provided in the second tube member 11 such that the members can be moved under spring force (spring-mounted). Means may be provided to prevent the members to be completely separated from each other.
  • a cap 30 On both ends of the set of tubes there is provided a cap 30.
  • This cap may comprise rubber, or any other suitable material having enough friction with a window frame, a wall or a rigid object between which the set of tubes is to be placed.
  • the total length of the set of tubes including the caps 30 has to be larger than the space between the window frame, walls or rigid objects in which it has to be placed. Placement is done by pressing the tube members 10, 11 in each other and releasing the tube members when the set of tubes is in the right position and orientation. The friction between the caps 30 and the window frame, wall, or rigid object will ensure that the position and orientation is fixed.
  • the dimensions of the set of tubes are dependent on the dimensions of the window frame, the dimensions between the walls before a window, or the dimension between the rigid objects.
  • the length may be typically in the range from 400mm to 3000mm.
  • the diameter of the tube members determines the strength of the set of tubes. The diameter may be typically in the range from 10mm to 40mm.
  • Materials of the tube members may be any firm material, such as stainless steel, aluminum, plastic, PVC. However, also other materials are possible.
  • a set of tubes having more than two tube members, for example three.
  • One or two springs may be provided in the middle tube members for example.
  • Fig. 2 shows a mobile sun blind in accordance with a first embodiment of the invention.
  • the sun blind has been placed between walls 50 around a window 100.
  • a window frame (not shown) or any other rigid object in the vicinity of the window 100.
  • the sun blind comprises two sets of tubes 10, 11 as illustrated in Fig. 1 between which a cloth 40 is provided.
  • the cloth 40 is preferably made of a weather-resistant material. The dimensions of the cloth have to be matched with the length of the sets of tubes 10, 11 and the window 100. After use, the cloth can be rolled on one of the sets of tubes 10, 11 or on both. The friction of caps 30 with the walls 50 ensures that the cloth 40 can be kept tense in operational use.
  • fixation means are provided on the sets of tubes 10, 11 to keep the cloth in place. This functionality may also be provided by the rubber caps 30.
  • the length of the first tube members 10 is 1670mm and the diameter of the first tube members 10 is 15mm.
  • the length of the second tube members 11 is 1670mm and the diameter of the second tube member 11 is 20mm.
  • This embodiment is suitable for being placed before a window 100 having a dimension of 2100mm by 1770mm.
  • the cloth 40 has a dimension of 2090mm by 1690mm.
  • Fig. 3 shows a mobile sun blind in accordance with a second embodiment of the invention. This figure is discussed in as far as it differs from Fig. 2 .
  • This embodiment is advantageous in situations where the window is very wide and in situations where the window 100 is not straight, but follows a corner or is curved.
  • the embodiment effectively comprises in this example two sun blinds as discussed in Fig. 2 , which are connected together by means of connecting members 60.
  • a further cloth 40' is provided having further sets of tubes 10', 11' with further caps 30' similar to Fig. 2 .
  • This configuration features bending of the sun blind at the location of the sets of tubes 10, 11, 10', 11' in the middle of the sun blind.
  • the connecting members 60 are left out. Proper dimensioning of the caps 30, 30' ensures that the spacing SP between the cloth 40 and the further cloth 40' can be kept minimal.
  • the embodiment of Fig. 3 can be expanded to any number of sun blinds in series.
  • Fig. 4 shows a mobile sun blind in accordance with a third embodiment of the invention. This figure is discussed in as far as it differs from Figs. 2 and 3 .
  • a further set of tubes 10', 11' somewhere in the middle of the cloth 40.
  • the cloth 40 can bend to have any desired shape in conformity with the window. When it is placed behind the cloth, for example, it also can be used to put the cloth 40 under more tensile strain, which reduces the sensitivity of the sun blind for wind.
  • the further set of tubes 10', 11' can be a separate part, but it may also be provided with guiding means for the cloth 40, such as a groove, slot, slit, or a notch. Alternatively, it can be a double set of tubes, wherein one is provided at a front-side and one is provided at a back-side of the cloth 40.
  • the invention thus provides a mobile sun blind comprising a cloth comprising two tubes provided on each one of two opposing sides of the cloth. Each respective set of two tubes fits within each other and is spring-mounted with respect to each other and is configured for being slide relative to each other. Ends of the two tubes are provided with a cap having friction with a window frame, a wall or a rigid object.
  • the mobile sun blind is configured for being clamped in a window frame, between walls, or between rigid objects before a window, if desired, and wherein the mobile sun blind is configured for being quickly and simply rolled up and stored after use, wherein the cloth is rolled on at least one of the sets of tubes.
  • the advantage of the mobile sun blind of the invention is that the window frame, wall or rigid object is not damaged when the mobile sun mounted.
  • the invention further provides a method of operating such a sun blind.
  • the invention can be applied outdoor and indoor.
  • the latter is particularly interesting in case the outdoor location is difficult or impossible to reach.
