Definitions

  • This invention relates to the routing of a pair of tension cords in a window covering (e.g., a Venetian blind or a pleated blind) with parallel, top and bottom rails that can be moved vertically along the tension cords.
  • the invention particularly relates to the routing of tension cords, so that only a single tension spring need be connected to the tension cords to keep them in proper tension, i.e., so that the rails remain parallel when moved.
  • an improved routing is provided for a pair of tension cords in a window covering with parallel, top and bottom rails that can be moved vertically along the tension cords, the tension cords: i) being connected by top and bottom pairs of attachment members to top and bottom portions of a window, ii) having middle portions which are attached to either the top or bottom pairs of attachment members, and iii) having end portions which are secured to the other of the top and bottom pairs of attachment members; the cord routing being characterized in that the middle portions are movably looped about the top or bottom pairs of attachment members and the tension cords are connected to each other by a single tension spring, whereby the tension cords are maintained in proper tension to keep the rails parallel when one or both rails are moved vertically along the tension cords.
  • the spring is in the top or bottom rail.
  • the spring is in the top rail, the middle looped portions of the tension cords are attached to the top attachment members, and one end of each tension cord is attached to each of the bottom attachment members.
  • the tension cords pass twice through the bottom rail.
  • the spring is in the bottom rail, the middle looped portions of the tension cords are attached to the bottom attachment members, one end of each tension cord is attached to each of the top attachment members, and the tension cords pass twice through the top rail.
  • the spring is between the top pair of attachment members, both ends of one tension cord are attached to one of the bottom attachment members and both ends of the other tension cord are attached to the other attachment member.
  • the tension spring is closer to the looped middle portions of the tension cords than to the end portions of the tension cords.
  • the window covering is advantageously a Venetian blind and means for tilting slats of the Venetian blind are provided at the top rail.
  • FIG. 1 shows a Venetian blind 10 of the invention.
  • the blind 10 is suspended in front of a window (not shown) by means of a routing 12 of first and second tension cords 14, 16.
  • the tension cord routing 12 involves looping middle portions 14A, 16A of the pair of tension cords 14, 16 movably about a top pair of attachment members 18, 20, affixed above, and to longitudinally opposite sides of, the window (e.g., at about the top of the window frame).
  • the looped middle tension cord portions 14A, 16A can slide somewhat in both longitudinal directions over and about the top attachment members 18, 20 despite friction between the tension cords and the top attachment members.
  • the tension cord routing 12 also involves securing the end portions 14D, 16D of the tension cords 14, 16 to a bottom pair of attachment members 22, 24, affixed below, and to longitudinally opposite sides of, the window (e.g., at about the bottom of the window frame).
  • the left and right, tension cord portions 14B, 14C and 16B, 16C extend downwardly from the top attachment members 18, 20 to and through openings 25, 27 in left and right sides 28, 30 of a top surface 32 of a longitudinally (or horizontally)-extending top rail 26 of the blind 10. From the openings in the top surface 32 of the top rail 26, the tension cords 14, 16 extend, within the top rail, downwardly and towards each other.
  • a first left cord portion 14B and a second right cord portion 16C are then looped through openings 34, 36 in the left and right ends of a single, longitudinally-extending tension spring 38 at about the longitudinal and vertical middle of the top rail and then extend downwardly and away from each other to and through openings 39, 41 in left and right sides 40, 42 of a bottom surface 44 of the top rail 26.
  • a first right cord portion 16B and a second left cord portion 14C cross and extend downwardly and away from each other to and through the openings 39, 41 in the bottom surface 44 of the top rail 26.
  • the left side openings 25, 39 in the top rail 26 are near its left end, and the right side openings 27, 41 are near the right end of the top rail. It is also preferred that the left and right openings 25, 27 in the top surface 32 be vertically aligned with the left and right, top attachment members 18, 20 respectively.
  • the first left and right, cord portions 14B, 16B extend downwardly from the left opening 39 in the bottom surface 144 of the top rail 26, though holes 46 near the left edge of longitudinally-extending slats 48 of the blind 10.
  • the second left and right, cord portions 14C,16C extend downwardly from the right opening 41 in the bottom surface 144 of the top rail 26, though holes 50 near the right edge of the slats 48.
  • the left holes 46 in the slats 48 are preferably aligned vertically with the left bottom opening 39 of the top rail 26, and the right holes 50 in the slats are preferably aligned vertically with the right bottom opening 41 of the top rail. It is also preferred that the left and right ends of the top rail 26 are vertically aligned with the left and right ends, respectively, of the slats 48.
  • the first left and right, cord portions 14B, 16B extend downwardly to, and then longitudinally through, an upper opening 52 in a left end 54 of a longitudinally (or horizontally)-extending bottom rail 56 of the blind 10, and the first left and right cord portions 14C, 16C extend downwardly to, and then longitudinally through, an upper opening 58 in a right end 60 of the bottom rail 56.
  • the bottom rail ends 54, 60 are between the left and right holes 46, 50 in the slats 48, with the left bottom rail end 54 being slightly to the right of the left slat holes 46 and the right bottom rail end 60 being slightly to the left of the right slat holes 50.
  • the cord portions 14C, 16C and 14B, 16B extend vertically between the slat holes 46, 50 and the bottom rail upper openings 52, 58, respectively.

Then, the first left and right, cord portions 14B, 16B extend downwardly, and their ends are knotted to the right bottom attachment member 24, and the second left and right, cord portion 14C,16C extend downwardly, and their ends are knotted to the left attachment member 22.
  • the bottom rail ends 54, 60 are between the bottom attachment members 22, 24, with the bottom rail left end 54 being only slightly to the right of the left bottom attachment member 22 and the bottom rail right end 60 being only slightly to the left of the right bottom attachment member 24.
  • the cord portions 14C, 16C and 14B, 16B extend vertically between the bottom rail lower openings 62, 64 and the attachment members 22, 24, respectively.
  • the parallel, top rail and bottom rail 26, 56 can each be easily moved upwardly and downwardly along the tension cords 14, 16 to open and close the blind 10 and then be held in place by friction between the tension cords and the openings 25, 27, 39, 41, 52,58, 62, 64 in the rails. Because proper tension is maintained in the tension cords, the top and bottom rails remain parallel after one or both of them is moved along the tension cords. This feature can be enhanced by having both halves 14B, 14C and 16B, 16C of each tension cord 14, 16 pass through the rail without the spring 38 (i.e., the bottom rail 56 in Figure 1 ) to balance the friction between the tension cords and the top rail and between the tension cords and the bottom rail.
  • Conventional ladder cords can be attached to the slats 48, and a conventional mechanism (not shown) can be provided at the top rail 26 for tilting the ladder cords and thereby the slats as described, for example, in DE 20 2004 020 934 U1 , DE 100 27 771 A1 and EP 1 489 258 B1 .
