Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a device for fastening at least one cord or cable, in particular at least one cord of a screen such as a window covering, to a surface, comprising a base which is adapted for fixing to the surface and a cover which is adapted for fastening of the cord, wherein the cover and the base are adapted for releasable attachment to each other.
- Such a device is known in the field. An example hereof is described in the European patent
EP 152 6246 . The known device takes a two-part form. The cover with the cord end is at least partially slidable over the base which is secured to the surface. An internal ratchet and pawl mechanism serves to lock the cover on the base. - The known device has the advantage that it enables tensioning of the cords in order to mount the whole device on the surface. The cord can first be fastened to the cover, and the cover is then attached to the base.
- The invention has for its object to provide a device of the type stated in the preamble which has a different, improved releasable attachment between the cover and the base.
- The device according to the invention has for this purpose the feature that the device comprises a bayonet closure for releasable attachment of the cover to the base.
- The choice of a bayonet closure provides the device according to the invention with an exceptionally ergonomically favourable attachment. This is because the force a user has to exert to place the cover in the base lies in line with the tensioned cord. When the bayonet closure is placed together, the cover need only be rotated relative to the base, after which the device is assembled. The cover can be released from the base by performing these operations in reverse sequence. No tool is necessary.
- It is noted for the sake of completeness that a device is likewise known from
DE 9317094 andDE 19545316 for fastening at least one cord of a screen, such as a window covering, to a surface, comprising a base adapted for fixing to the surface and a cover adapted for passage of the cord, wherein the cover and the base are adapted for releasable attachment to each other. In these known devices the cord does not have to be fastened to the cover but to the base, and the cover serves only as finishing for the base. InDE 19545316 the cover can be fixed in hooking manner to the base. InDE 19545316 the cover can be clamped onto the base and the cover is then rotated relative to the base in order to arrange the cord in the cover and conceal it from view. - In a first embodiment of the device according to the invention the cover is adapted to fasten the cord substantially in line with the bayonet closure. The free end of the cover now forms a gripping surface, this further contributing toward the ergonomically favourable attachment.
- According to a practical embodiment of the device, the bayonet closure comprises a protrusion arranged on the side of the cover to be directed toward the base and a recess arranged on the side of the base to be directed toward the cover, wherein the protrusion can be received form-fittingly in the recess and the cover can then be rotated about a longitudinal axis of the protrusion relative to the base. The protrusion now functions as a positioner which simplifies assembly.
- According to a further highly reliable embodiment of the device according to the invention, the device is provided with an additional locking mechanism for locking the base and the cover in the assembled position. The locking mechanism is preferably a snap-lock.
- According to a further elegant embodiment, the base and the cover are provided with complementarily shaped edges such that the device has a substantially closed housing in the assembled position. The cover now wholly covers the base and the closed housing imparts an aesthetic design to the device according to the invention.
- In another embodiment the base is provided with a roughening on the side to be directed toward the surface. The roughening ensures that the base will not move relative to the surface during closing of the bayonet closure.
- In a subsequent embodiment the base is provided with a further opening for passage of a fixing element, this further opening being slot-like. The slot-like opening provides an option for adjusting the position of the base relative to the surface.
- In a further embodiment the opening in the cover is adapted for passage of a plurality of cords. This is particularly advantageous in the case of screens, such as window coverings, with a plurality of tensioned cords on a side of the covering. These cords can be tensioned collectively by means of one device according to invention.
- The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the figures.
-

In the shownpreferred embodiment screen 100 is a window covering, more particularly a pleated blind, arranged over a window of a building. Pleated blind 100 comprises arail 101 to which afabric 102 is attached. Cords 103 run fromrail 101 through thefabric 102 to abase rail 104. From thebase rail 104 the cords run in the direction of twotensioning shoes 1. The upper side ofrail 101 is fixed to theupper side 201 of the window frame. Thedevices 1 according to the invention are fixed to theunderside 202 of the window frame.Cords 103 are generally under tension. The tension on the cords can for instance be determined by a spring construction incorporated inrail 101. -
Figure 2 showsdevice 1 offigure 1 in more detail in separated state.Device 1 comprises a housing consisting of two housing parts. The first housing part is abase 10 adapted for securing to a fixed surface, in this case thewindow frame surface 202. Thesecond housing part 20 is a cover for at least partially coveringbase 10. The cover is provided with at least one opening 23 for passage of at least one cord, in thisexample cord 103.Cover 20 can also be designated as cord holder. -
Cover 20 andbase 10 are adapted for releasable attachment to each other.Device 1 according to the invention is provided for this purpose with abayonet closure device 1. In the shown preferred embodiment the bayonet closure comprises arecess 11 of a specific shape onbase 10 and aprotrusion 21 of a corresponding specific shape arranged oncover 20. Theprotrusion 21 can be received form-fittingly inrecess 11 and by being rotated through an angle thecover 20 is locked relative tobase 10. In the shown preferred embodiment the angle of rotation amounts to substantially 90 degrees. - Cord opening 23 and
protrusion 21 are located in the vicinity of each other at the same outer end ofcover 20 such thatcord 103 extends substantially in line withprotrusion 21. The rest ofcover 20 now forms a free outer end for gripping by the user. -
Figures 3A to 3C showdevice 1 in different positions. - In the shown
preferred embodiment protrusion 21 has afoot 21A on either side of whichwings 21 B are arranged.Wings 21 B extend over only a part of the height offoot 21A, in this case the lower part.Recess 11 is generally round and provided on the peripheral edge with two inward directedwings 11 B. The height of the inward directedwings 11B extends over only a part of the height, or depth, of the opening, in this case the upper part.Opening 11 in this way has a shape which is complementary to the shape ofprotrusion 21.Cover 20 can be attached tobase 10 by inserting theprotrusion 21 intorecess 11. This position is shown infigure 3B . By rotating thecover 20 relative to base 10 thewings 21 B rotate underwings 11B. Cover 20 is then locked ontobase 10. The assembled position is shown infigure 3C . - An additional locking mechanism is arranged on
device 1 and comprises a snap-lock formed by asnap element 14 and a correspondingly shapedrecess 24. In the shown preferredembodiment snap element 14 is located onbase 10 andrecess 24 is located oncover 20. The snap connection can of course also take the reverse form. -
Base 10 is also provided withupright edges 12 extending over a part of the length of the base.Cover 20 is likewise provided withupright edges 22 which likewise extend over a part of the length ofcover 20.Edges device 1 has a substantially closed housing in the assembled position. -
Base 10 is provided with afurther opening 13 for passage of a fixing element such as ascrew 2 for fixing to thewindow frame surface 202. If desired, the chosen shape of opening 13 can be larger than the diameter of the screw thread so as to thus provide an adjustment option. By way of illustration, opening 13 is slot-like. -
Opening 23 incover 20 can if desired be adapted for passage of a plurality of cords.Opening 23 is for this purpose slot-shaped in the shown preferred embodiment. - On the side to be directed toward
surface 202 thebase 10 is optionally provided with aroughening 15. - Each cord has to be fastened to cover 20, which functions as cord holder. Fastening of the cord can take place in different ways. Two examples are illustrated in
figures 4A and4B .Figure 4A shows a bottom view ofdevice 1. In thisembodiment base 10 is provided with awedge 25 and ascrew 26.Cord 103 has to be trained roundwedge 25 and clamped against the wedge by means ofscrew 26. Infigure 4A thecord 103 is endless.Screw 26 is of course also suitable to clamp two separate cord ends against the wedge. -
Figure 4B shows a bottom view of a variant 1' of the device offigure 1 . This variant 1' differs fromdevice 1 only in the manner of fastening thecord 103 to cover 20'. This takes place by training thecord end 103A roundwedge 25 and tying aknot 103B therein. - It is noted for the sake of completeness that
device 1 or 1' is also suitable for fastening of a tensioning cable, for instance of a freely suspended screen, to a surface. -
Device 1 can of course also be fixed to theupper side 201 of the window frame ifrail 101 is arranged movably in the opening. - The invention is not therefore limited to the described and shown preferred embodiments but extends to any embodiment falling within the scope of protection as defined in the claims and as seen in the light of the foregoing description and accompanying drawings.
